Floors, slabs and movement joints in The Hummicks
The Hummicks lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The Hummicks sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
If you manage units on an estate such as Hardley Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the north-east of The Hummicks, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Schools like Beaulieu Village Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. A healthcare site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (to the south-west of The Hummicks) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Floor joint sealing in The Hummicks
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. The enquiries we see most involve failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, on loading bays, construction joints and retail and showroom floors.

For a site near The Hummicks, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
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.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around The Hummicks, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
FAQs: The Hummicks
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is The Hummicks too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
Normally only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
