About our floor joint sealing in Ower
Across Ower and the rest of Hampshire, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and dock area joints that have failed first. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ower? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as Ower, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
What we are called out for in Ower
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
Another example is Shelley Farm Industrial Estate (0.9 miles north of Ower), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What affects the price in Ower
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common questions from Ower clients
Is a hospital such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Ower too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange it.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints that move: notes for Ower
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Ower. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Centres like Nursling Retail Park (to the east of Ower) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic. Large sites such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital, 1.1 miles to the south of Ower, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Ower are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
