When to call us in Leckford
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Schools like Test Valley School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Floor joint sealing in Leckford
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we’re called in for most is chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and untidy open joints in a retail unit. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Leckford from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Leckford, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What else we do in Leckford
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. If others near Leckford need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Leckford: questions and answers
Is Leckford too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Leckford are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to stop operations in Leckford while the joints are sealed?
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.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Joints that move: notes for Leckford
Leckford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Central London is about 64 miles from Leckford. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
A healthcare site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital, 5.6 miles to the north of Leckford, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Leckford is about 5 miles south of Andover, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Leckford, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Leckford is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. There’s a separate page for Southampton, roughly 15 miles from Leckford.

Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
