Floor joint sealing in Alresford, done properly
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Alresford carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and loading bays, and what we are called in for most is open saw cuts full of debris and joint fill separating from the concrete. Most enquiries from Alresford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Alresford, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

FAQs: Alresford
Is Alresford too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Essex County Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Why it’s worth doing now in Alresford
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Small buildings around Alresford suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Several jobs near Alresford can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
