Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: 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 our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Winterbourne can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

How we handle floor joint sealing in Winterbourne
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. We work on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and flexible sealant torn out by wheels. For commercial sealant work in Winterbourne, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Jobs around smaller places like Winterbourne are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Winterbourne as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for floor joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Winterbourne
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Winterbourne can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Questions we are asked in Winterbourne
Is Winterbourne too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Winterbourne is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Winterbourne, such as CMA Industrial Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Winterbourne, CMA Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Usually only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Other services in Winterbourne
Do you need floor joint sealing in Winterbourne?
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Look out for the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
On industrial estates such as CMA Industrial Park (2.7 miles east of Winterbourne), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
