Floor joint sealing in Fareham Common, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. The enquiries we see most involve soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and joint fill separating from the concrete, across saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Fareham Common, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of Fareham Common, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several jobs near Fareham Common can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Common questions from Fareham Common clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Knowle Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Fareham Common off your patch?
No. Places such as Fareham Common are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
