About our floor joint sealing in Criddlestyle
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on loading bays, construction joints and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and joint fill separating from the concrete. Most enquiries from Criddlestyle start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Criddlestyle, 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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Surface by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Questions we are asked in Criddlestyle
Is a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Can you work at a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, by Criddlestyle?
Yes. We cover Criddlestyle and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are usually enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to set one up.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Criddlestyle
Criddlestyle has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
On industrial estates such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate (1.3 miles north-west of Criddlestyle), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Hospital campuses such as Fordingbridge Hospital (to the west of Criddlestyle) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Criddlestyle is in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Criddlestyle use us for work on floor joints. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Criddlestyle among them. Sites around Southampton have their own page, about 16 miles away.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Criddlestyle may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Why act early in Criddlestyle
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Criddlestyle, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What you get with us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
