For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Pilley Bailey
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulled out along a truck route and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pilley Bailey, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Pilley Bailey, 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
FAQs: Pilley Bailey
Our building in Pilley Bailey is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lymington New Forest Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When to call us in Pilley Bailey
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
Look out for the following:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Pilley Bailey, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Joints that move: notes for Pilley Bailey
Pilley Bailey lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Pilley Bailey sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
In a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Why deal with it now?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Older rural buildings around Pilley Bailey move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
