Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
About our floor joint sealing in Hipley
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hipley is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Hipley, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Hipley can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Around Hipley, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in the majority of cases.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Hipley
At about 61 miles from central London, Hipley is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Hipley 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, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. For an estate such as Queen Alexandra Hospital, 4 miles south-east of Hipley, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Office parks like Parklands Business Park, 2.1 miles to the east of Hipley, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Hipley: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Queen Alexandra Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hipley, such as Parklands Business Park?
Yes. We cover Hipley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parklands Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you cover Hipley?
Yes. Sites across Hipley are covered.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
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 and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
