Questions we’re asked in Eastrop
Is Eastrop off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. 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.
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.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Eastrop
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and a gap opening alongside old joint filler. Whoever orders the work in Eastrop, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Eastrop, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours so ask if the colour matters.
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in Eastrop, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Eastrop
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Common problems we fix in Eastrop
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
A healthcare site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (1.7 miles north-west of Eastrop) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
