From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Gunville can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Gunville, done properly
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and leave that decision with you. Most enquiries involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and brittle joint filler breaking up, across saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and retail and showroom floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Gunville first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Gunville have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Is Carisbrooke Retail Park, near Gunville, within your area?
Yes, sites like Carisbrooke Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Gunville. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Gunville too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone before we start.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Gunville?
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- A rough ride across broken joints
Schools such as Carisbrooke College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Gunville
The 3 miles around Gunville take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Gunville 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 winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mountjoy Industrial Estate (1 mile south-east of Gunville): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. At a retail site such as Carisbrooke Retail Park, under half a mile south-east of Gunville, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day.
Gunville is about 1 mile west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover commercial sites throughout Gunville, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, including Gunville. We also cover Portsmouth, some 13 miles away.

What else we do in Gunville
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in the majority of cases.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
