FAQs: Shorthampton
Will you take on work at estates like Southill Business Park, close to Shorthampton?
Yes. Our area takes in Shorthampton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Southill Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Shorthampton off your patch?
No. Places such as Shorthampton are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
About our floor joint sealing in Shorthampton
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. We work on loading bays, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and joint fill separating from the concrete. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shorthampton? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Jobs around smaller places like Shorthampton are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common problems we fix in Shorthampton
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Office parks like Southill Business Park, 2.3 miles south-east of Shorthampton, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Proof of insurance
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Shorthampton 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 comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
