Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Floor joint sealing in Sarisbury, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and leave that decision with you. The enquiries we see most involve saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and brittle joint filler breaking up, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Sarisbury is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Work in a smaller place like Sarisbury is usually one building at a time. Getting widths, depths and traffic details up front means one visit, not two.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Sarisbury need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- 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.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Questions about Sarisbury
Can being near the sea in Sarisbury affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you work in Sarisbury?
Yes. We take on work across Sarisbury, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Common problems we fix in Sarisbury
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Filler that has parted from one face
Schools such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What happens if it’s left?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Public liability insurance in place

Floor joint sealing around Sarisbury: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Sarisbury. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Sarisbury. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
On a site such as Park Gate Business Centre (0.7 miles east of Sarisbury), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Solent Business Park (1.7 miles east of Sarisbury): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
