Floor joint sealing in Ibthorpe, done properly
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Most enquiries involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, across loading bays, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ibthorpe is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Ibthorpe have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Cost factors for floor joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Why act early in Ibthorpe
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Around Ibthorpe, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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 quote when you’re ready.

When to call us in Ibthorpe
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
For an estate such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, which lies south of Ibthorpe, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Ibthorpe: questions and answers
Will our site in Ibthorpe have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Andover War Memorial 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.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

Ibthorpe is about 61 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Ibthorpe 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 Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
