- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Whiteley
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you are dealing with saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and dock area joints that have failed first, we can put it right, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints alike. Most enquiries from Whiteley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around places the size of Whiteley, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Whiteley: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Whiteley outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Solent Business Park, by Whiteley?
Yes, sites like Solent Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Whiteley. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation normally comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up normally puts that right and we will flag it at quote stage.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.

What else we do in Whiteley
Joints that move: notes for Whiteley
Rainfall across the South East, Whiteley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 66 miles from central London, Whiteley is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Schools like Whiteley Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. At places like Park Gate Business Centre, 0.8 miles south-west of Whiteley, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Whiteley is about 3 miles south-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. We cover Whiteley and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Whiteley is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for floor joints. We also cover Southampton, around 6 miles from Whiteley.
We take on floor joints across the PO15 postcode area. If your site is on Oak Coppice Road, Thyme Avenue and Christie Avenue or close by, send details and we’ll quote for floor joints. If your building is just outside Whiteley, we cover Burridge (1 mile north-west), Park Gate (1 mile south-west), Segensworth (1 mile south), Sarisbury (1 mile south-west) and Swanwick (1 mile west). A short drive away, we cover Winchester (12 miles north), Gosport (7 miles south-east), Havant (12 miles east), Eastleigh (7 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles south-east) and Horndean (11 miles east).
Local landmarks in Whiteley
We work on buildings around Brookfield Community School and Language College and the streets around them. Whiteley’s nearest station is Swanwick station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include St Andrew's Castle (3.5 miles south-west) and Fareham Community Hospital (1.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Swanwick Lakes.
Common problems we fix in Whiteley
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
Office parks like Solent Business Park (to the south-east of Whiteley) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Work in places the size of Whiteley is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.

What affects the price in Whiteley
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
