Industrial Concrete Expansion Joint Repairs
Concrete floors in industrial settings, such as warehouses and factories, endure constant stress from heavy machinery, wheeled traffic, and environmental changes. Over time, the expansion joints—gaps that allow for concrete movement—can deteriorate, leading to cracks, holes, and compromised structural integrity. Timely expansion joint repairs are crucial to maintaining safety, preventing further damage, and ensuring long-term durability. At Contact Flooring, we specialise in industrial concrete floor repair services, offering reliable, cost-effective solutions to keep your facility running smoothly.
What Are Concrete Expansion Joints?
Expansion joints are essential components of concrete floors, designed to absorb movement caused by temperature fluctuations and heavy loads. Positioned at specific intervals, they direct cracks along predetermined lines, protecting the structural integrity of the floor. However, over time, these joints can lose their effectiveness due to wear and tear, allowing damage such as cracks or even holes to form.
Ignoring these issues can result in:
- Decreased safety: Uneven floors pose trip hazards.
- Increased repair costs: Minor cracks can escalate into severe structural damage.
- Operational inefficiencies: Damaged floors affect the performance of vehicles and machinery.

Our Process for Industrial Concrete Joint Repairs
At Contact Flooring, we use a precise, tailored approach to repair damaged concrete expansion joints. Here’s how we ensure long-lasting results:
Inspection and Diagnosis:
- Conduct a detailed site survey to assess the damage.
- Identify the root cause of the joint failure (e.g., stress from traffic, improper installation).
Preparation:
- Remove loose debris and any damaged sections of concrete.
- Clean and prime the area for optimal resin adhesion.
Filling the Joint:
- Apply a durable, flexible resin designed to absorb impact and movement.
- Seal the joint to prevent moisture, chemicals, or debris from infiltrating.
Finishing:
- If required, revisit the site after the resin has cured (typically 24 hours).
- Customise the repair to match the texture and colour of the surrounding floor.
Why Repair Concrete Slab Joints?
Failing to address cracks and holes in expansion joints can lead to:
- Weakened floor structure, affecting overall durability.
- Higher maintenance costs for industrial vehicles damaged by uneven surfaces.
- Reduced productivity, as machinery may struggle on uneven flooring.
- Potential stock damage from accidental spills or machinery instability.
Proactive repairs ensure your floors remain safe, functional, and visually appealing.
