Joints that move: notes for Crofton
Crofton lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Less than 3 miles from Crofton there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Across sites such as Collingwood Retail Park, 1.1 miles north-east of Crofton, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. University campuses such as University of Portsmouth - North Zone (to the east of Crofton) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Retail parks like Speedfields Retail Park, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Crofton, have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Crofton
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and joints along racking aisles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and brittle joint filler breaking up. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Crofton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Crofton, 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 covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Crofton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Cost factors for floor joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Common questions from Crofton clients
Is Crofton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
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.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
