How we handle floor joint sealing in Shipton Bellinger
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 explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulled out along a truck route and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shipton Bellinger first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Shipton Bellinger have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Shipton Bellinger
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
In a school such as Shipton Bellinger Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Proof of insurance
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

Places near Shipton Bellinger
What else we do in Shipton Bellinger
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Shipton Bellinger can form part of a wider programme across Hampshire.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Questions about Shipton Bellinger
Which documents can you supply for work in Shipton Bellinger?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do we have to stop operations in Shipton Bellinger while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
