Floor joint sealing for Sholing sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles

Rural business units around smaller places such as Sholing often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Sholing?
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
Large sites such as Royal South Hants Hospital (2 miles north-west of Sholing) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What happens if it’s left?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Sholing
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal South Hants Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sholing, such as Bitterne Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Sholing and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bitterne Business Centre. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
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. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Sholing: the local picture
Sholing sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. 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. The 3 miles around Sholing 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 Central Trading Estate, which lies west of Sholing, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Campuses like Solent University, 2.1 miles west of Sholing, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
