Your questions answered
Is New Forest off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do we have to stop operations in New Forest while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
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, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange it.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Floor joint sealing in New Forest, done properly
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open saw cuts full of debris and brittle joint filler breaking up. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in New Forest, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like New Forest have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. For buildings around smaller places like New Forest, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in New Forest
New Forest 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, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Around New Forest, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
New Forest is in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP6, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. New Forest is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area (23 miles or so).
Work on floor joints is covered throughout SP6, for business premises of every kind. Among the streets we cover are Sillens Lane and Townsend Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Common problems we fix in New Forest
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
In and around New Forest, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Jobs in and around smaller places like New Forest are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Cost factors for floor joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
