Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How we handle floor joint sealing in East Cholderton
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, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and drivers complaining about joints on a route. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in East Cholderton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like East Cholderton, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. East Cholderton can form part of a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

What affects the price in East Cholderton
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you need floor joint sealing in East Cholderton?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
For an estate such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.5 miles east of East Cholderton), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Questions we are asked in East Cholderton
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Weyhill Business Park, by East Cholderton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around East Cholderton, Weyhill Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
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.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like East Cholderton are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
