Common questions from Letcombe Bassett clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Letcombe Bassett, such as W&G Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Letcombe Bassett, W&G Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Wantage Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Floor joint sealing in Letcombe Bassett, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. We work on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and untidy open joints in a retail unit. Most enquiries from Letcombe Bassett start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Letcombe Bassett, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Letcombe Bassett. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Letcombe Bassett
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Large sites such as Wantage Community Hospital (2.6 miles north-east of Letcombe Bassett) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
