Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Converted and older buildings near places like Sandy Down tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Questions about Sandy Down
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does the sea air around Sandy Down change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- 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.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and saves the edges.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Sandy Down need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

General trades versus 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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Sandy Down
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Sandy Down. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For floors and slabs around Sandy Down, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (1.9 miles south of Sandy Down) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
