Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Albourne Street
Albourne Street 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 gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 39 miles from central London, Albourne Street is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
Across sites such as Kings Business Centre (1 mile north of Albourne Street), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Schools such as Albourne CofE Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Albourne Street is about 4 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Albourne Street is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Albourne Street
A movement joint only works while its seal does. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Whoever orders the work in Albourne Street, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Albourne Street, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Albourne Street as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Albourne Street
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Estates like Aviation Trading Estate (1 mile south of Albourne Street) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with photographs.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Albourne Street are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Albourne Street
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Halls, stores and units around places like Albourne Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
