Where floor joints take the most wear near Kentsboro
Kentsboro is about 68 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Kentsboro sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Sites like Andover War Memorial Hospital, 5 miles to the north-east of Kentsboro, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For floors and slabs around Kentsboro, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Kentsboro is about 5 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO20, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Kentsboro. For work in that direction, see our Southampton page.

About our expansion joint sealing in Kentsboro
For movement joints in Kentsboro, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and previous reseals laid over old sealant, across car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Kentsboro, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Kentsboro are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Kentsboro may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Questions we are asked in Kentsboro
Will our site in Kentsboro have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Kentsboro off your patch?
Not at all. Kentsboro is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
It normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Kentsboro can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Kentsboro, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
