Floor joint sealing in Bosham Hoe
Across Bosham Hoe and the rest of West Sussex, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and sealant pulled out along a truck route. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bosham Hoe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Bosham Hoe, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Bosham Hoe need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FAQs: Bosham Hoe
Is a smaller place like Bosham Hoe outside your area?
No. Places such as Bosham Hoe are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When to call us in Bosham Hoe
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 repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Dock area joints that have failed first
University campuses such as University of Chichester, 3.7 miles north-east of Bosham Hoe, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
Comparing quotes
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing around Bosham Hoe: how the place shapes the job
Bosham Hoe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Rainfall across the South East, Bosham Hoe included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
For an occupier at a site such as Southfield Industrial Park. (1.5 miles north of Bosham Hoe), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. Hospital campuses such as St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles north-east of Bosham Hoe) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
