When to bring in a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Fordingbridge
Fordingbridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Less than 3 miles from Fordingbridge there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Schools such as Fordingbridge Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Warehouse floors on estates like Arch Farm Industrial Estate (to the north of Fordingbridge) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Across sites such as Fordingbridge Business Park, 0.7 miles west of Fordingbridge, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work in places the size of Fordingbridge is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Other services in Fordingbridge
Building owners, agents and FMs in Fordingbridge
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
FAQs: Fordingbridge
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Fordingbridge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
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, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
