Questions we are asked in Up Somborne
Would you work within a site like Royal Hampshire County Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Up Somborne outside your area?
Not at all. Up Somborne is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Up Somborne
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have a gap opening alongside old joint filler and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can put it right, on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Up Somborne, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Up Somborne, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
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.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Up Somborne
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
Another example is Beeches Industrial Park, 2.6 miles to the east of Up Somborne, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Up Somborne
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Up Somborne can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Cost factors for floor joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
