Floor joint sealing in Hardley, done properly
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulled out along a truck route and open saw cuts full of debris. Most enquiries from Hardley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Hardley, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. For buildings around smaller places like Hardley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:

- Worn screed or surface finishes

- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Hardley: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Hardley outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Hardley affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Advice
Floor joint sealing around Hardley: what changes locally
Hardley is within about 2 miles of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Rainfall across the South East, Hardley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Another example is Hardley Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north-west of Hardley, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Campuses like Southampton Solent University, 4.8 miles to the north of Hardley, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.
Hardley is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Hardley sits inside our coverage and the rest of Hampshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Hardley is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

What we are called out for in Hardley
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Loading bay joints breaking down
Schools like The New Forest Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
