Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.

Joints that move: notes for Bassett Green

Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Hospital campuses such as Royal South Hants Hospital (to the south of Bassett Green) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Campuses like University of Southampton (to the south-west of Bassett Green) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Questions about Bassett Green
Is Bassett Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Bassett Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal South Hants Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Other services in Bassett Green
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Bassett Green
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
At places like Itchen Business Park, 0.8 miles south-east of Bassett Green, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
