Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in The Mint
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and loading bays, and what we’re called in for most is drivers complaining about joints on a route and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Whoever orders the work in The Mint, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as The Mint, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like The Mint are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

What else we do in The Mint
Floors, slabs and movement joints in The Mint
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of The Mint. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
On a site such as Ham Barn Business Park, which lies north-west of The Mint, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Across sites such as Longmoor Enterprise Park, 1.7 miles to the north of The Mint, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
The Mint is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout The Mint. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. Portsmouth is covered too, around 19 miles from The Mint.

Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. We match the product to the wheel types and the traffic.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Do you need floor joint sealing in The Mint?
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Look out for the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
For a school such as Liss Junior School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What affects the price in The Mint
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
The Mint: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Ham Barn Business Park, close to The Mint?
Yes. Our area takes in The Mint and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ham Barn Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like The Mint outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
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.
