When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Apuldram
Apuldram sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Apuldram. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Estates like Terminus Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles north-east of Apuldram, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

At a retail site such as Summersdale Retail Park, 2.7 miles north of Apuldram, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.

Apuldram: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Apuldram affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is Apuldram in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Apuldram, with one number for every area we cover.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
