Floor joint sealing in Apse Heath: the local picture
Apse Heath sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Apse Heath sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
In a school such as Sandown Bay Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Branstone Business Park (0.5 miles north-west of Apse Heath) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. At places like Spithead Business Centre, which lies east of Apse Heath, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Apse Heath is about 6 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Any commercial site in Apse Heath is covered. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, Apse Heath among them. We also cover Portsmouth, some 13 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
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.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Apse Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Questions we are asked in Apse Heath
Can you work at a site such as Branstone Business Park, by Apse Heath?
Yes, sites like Branstone Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Apse Heath. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Apse Heath outside your area?
No. Places such as Apse Heath are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
