Your questions answered
Is Shawford off your patch?
Not at all. Shawford is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Wessex Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Shawford
For sites in Shawford and across Hampshire, the process is short: 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, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is dock area joints that have failed first and flexible sealant torn out by wheels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Shawford is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Shawford, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Shawford
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Loading bay joints breaking down
University campuses such as University of Winchester (2.6 miles north of Shawford) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Shawford
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Shawford. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Shawford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For a school such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For buildings at a park such as Hazeley Enterprise Park (0.9 miles east of Shawford), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Shawford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Converted and older buildings near places like Shawford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- One contact handling all your sites
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What affects the price in Shawford
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
