Andwell: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hatch Industrial Park, near Andwell, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Andwell, Hatch Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Floor joint sealing in Andwell
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. We work on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are loading bay joints breaking down and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Andwell is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Andwell, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Doing it in-house
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Andwell, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites

- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
