Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Floor joint sealing in Lower Burgate, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. Most enquiries involve soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, across joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints.

In and around smaller places like Lower Burgate, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Lower Burgate
The 3 miles around Lower Burgate take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
At places like Fordingbridge Business Park (1.2 miles south-west of Lower Burgate), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. For a school such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. If you manage units on an estate such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, which lies west of Lower Burgate, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Common questions from Lower Burgate clients
Is Lower Burgate too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lower Burgate are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do you choose the sealant?
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 your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Lower Burgate need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
