Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Findon
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and joints packed with grit and debris, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Findon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Findon, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Findon are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Leave it or put it right?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we’ll say so before quoting. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Findon, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Findon
At about 46 miles from central London, Findon is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Findon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Sites like Worthing Hospital (to the south-east of Findon) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. In a school such as St John the Baptist CofE Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Findon for work on movement joints. Findon is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. We also cover Brighton, around 12 miles from Findon.
Commercial sites across BN14 are covered for movement joints. Among the streets we cover are High Street, Southview Road and Summerfields. Just outside Findon, we also work in High Salvington (1 mile south), Cote (2 miles south), Durrington (2 miles south), Clapham (2 miles south-west) and Patching (2 miles south-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Horsham (14 miles north), Worthing (3 miles south), Bognor Regis (13 miles south-west), Burgess Hill (14 miles north-east), Littlehampton (7 miles south-west) and Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east).
Local landmarks in Findon
We work on buildings around The Old Village House Hotel, among other places. The closest station to Findon is West Worthing station, about 3.4 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Worthing Hospital (3.9 miles south-east) and Old Castle (2.9 miles south). Open spaces near Findon include Chanctonbury Hill.
Common problems we fix in Findon
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
Another example is Downlands Business Park (2.7 miles south-east of Findon), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Proof of insurance
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Findon: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Gosling Croft Business Centre, near Findon?
Yes, sites like Gosling Croft Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Findon. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Findon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
