Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hitchambury
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
At places like Bath Road Shopping Park, 2 miles south-east of Hitchambury, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going.

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hitchambury. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Hitchambury need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hitchambury
Less than 3 miles from Hitchambury there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Rainfall across the South East, Hitchambury included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A healthcare site such as St Mark's Hospital (2.8 miles west of Hitchambury) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools such as St Nicolas' Church of England Combined School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

What sealant work can’t fix

When to bring in a 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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Hitchambury: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Mark's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Marshgate Trading Estate, close to Hitchambury?
Yes. We cover Hitchambury and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Marshgate Trading Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will we need to close the floor?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
