What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

Questions we’re asked in Upper Burgate
Is Upper Burgate too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Normally only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
What we are called out for in Upper Burgate
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
In a school such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
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.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Upper Burgate
Rainfall across the South East, Upper Burgate included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. The 3 miles around Upper Burgate take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Another example is Fordingbridge Business Park, which lies south-west of Upper Burgate, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. If you manage units on an estate such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the south-west of Upper Burgate, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
