Floor joint sealing for Boldre sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Jobs in and around smaller places like Boldre are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Boldre, done properly
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you have cracked and crumbling joint fill and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can help.

Smaller community and commercial buildings around Boldre have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Boldre
Why deal with it now?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Boldre, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Joints that move: notes for Boldre
Boldre is within about 2 miles of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (0.8 miles south of Boldre), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Boldre is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Across the SO41 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. We also cover Southampton, around 12 miles from Boldre.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions we’re asked in Boldre
Would you work within a site like Lymington New Forest 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.
Does a coastal location like Boldre affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
