Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Construction joints

How we handle floor joint sealing in Newbury
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you are dealing with scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and cracked and crumbling joint fill, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Newbury start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In a town the size of Newbury, floor joints are mostly in industrial and trade units, supermarkets and car parks. Small units are often busy, so joints are done at times that suit the occupier.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Parkway Shopping Centre, near Newbury?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newbury, Parkway Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to set one up.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newbury
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we’re called out for in Newbury
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Schools like St Nicolas C.E. Junior School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Warehouse floors and decks around Newbury
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Newbury. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Newbury 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, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Places like Parkway Shopping Centre (under half a mile north of Newbury) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside. Large sites such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east of Newbury) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Newbury is about 15 miles west of Reading, in West Berkshire. Across the RG14 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Local landmarks in Newbury
We work on buildings around Victoria Park, The Diamond Tap and St Bartholomew's School. There’s a railway station in Newbury itself: Newbury station.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If you have more than one building in Newbury, they can often be done on the same visit. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here typically fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
