Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
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.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
Floor joint sealing in Shobley, done properly
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and what we’re called in for most is grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Shobley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Shobley, 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 we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we will say which joints need what. Halls, stores and units around places like Shobley may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Shobley
Shobley sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Shobley take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Another example is Hightown Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Shobley, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Parks like Platinum Jubilee Business Park (1.8 miles south-west of Shobley) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Shobley is about 2 miles north-east of Ringwood, in Hampshire. Anywhere in BH24, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 723 places across Hampshire fall within our area, Shobley among them. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 16 miles away.

Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Shobley
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Shobley can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When to call us in Shobley
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
In a school such as Poulner Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shobley are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Questions about Shobley
Can you work at a site such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park, by Shobley?
Yes. We cover Shobley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Platinum Jubilee Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Shobley off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
