About our floor joint sealing in Up Nately
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a rough ride across broken joints and dock area joints that have failed first. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Up Nately, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Up Nately have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.

What else we do in Up Nately
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Traffic, movement and joints around Up Nately
The 3 miles around Up Nately take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Up Nately is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
In a school such as Robert May's School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Large sites such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (to the west of Up Nately) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Warehouse floors on estates like Hatch Industrial Park (to the west of Up Nately) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Up Nately is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG27, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Loading bays
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically 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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Up Nately are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Up Nately
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. For buildings around smaller places like Up Nately, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Yes. We cover Up Nately and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hatch Industrial Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Up Nately too far out for you?
Not at all. Up Nately is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
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 long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
