About our floor joint sealing in Red Rice
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. If you’re dealing with brittle joint filler breaking up and a rough ride across broken joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Red Rice, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs around smaller places like Red Rice are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions we’re asked in Red Rice
Can you work on a hospital site such as Andover War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Glenmore Business Park, near Red Rice, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Red Rice and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenmore Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work in Red Rice?
Yes. We cover Red Rice, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
