Floor joint sealing in Hungerford
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. The enquiries we see most involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and filler that has parted from one face, on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hungerford is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Hungerford often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, 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 else we do in Hungerford
Why deal with it now?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Hungerford
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
If you manage units on an estate such as Hungerford Trading Estate, which lies west of Hungerford, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
Questions to ask before you book

Questions about Hungerford
Will you take on work at estates like Hungerford Trading Estate, close to Hungerford?
Yes, sites like Hungerford Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Hungerford. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Hungerford too far out for you?
Not at all. Hungerford is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
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.
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.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a job in Hungerford, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.

Preparing the site
