How we handle floor joint sealing in Burghclere Common
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and joint fill separating from the concrete. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Burghclere Common it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Burghclere Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Burghclere Common: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Burghclere Common outside your area?
Not at all. Burghclere Common is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Burghclere Common, such as Newbury Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Newbury Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Burghclere Common. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
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.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Burghclere Common
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Halls, stores and units around places like Burghclere Common may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- CSCS-carded applicators

What else we do in Burghclere Common
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
