St Cross: questions and answers
Is St Cross too far out for you?
No. Places such as St Cross are covered as much as the big towns. 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 you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in St Cross
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 will say so and explain how it affects the programme. If you have drivers complaining about joints on a route and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in St Cross 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.
In a smaller place such as St Cross, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common problems we fix in St Cross
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
For an estate such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital, 0.8 miles north-west of St Cross, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Commercial clients in St Cross
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How the job changes by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.

- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. What matters most for a job in St Cross is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
