About our floor joint sealing in Brighton
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have filler that has parted from one face and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Brighton tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Movement joints in a large town like Brighton range from car park ramps and retail floors to the brick and panel joints on bigger buildings. When they fail, water and grit get in, edges break up and leaks follow.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Floor joint sealing around Brighton: how the place shapes the job
Brighton lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At about 46 miles from central London, Brighton is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
For a school such as Fairlight Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Estates like Centenary Industrial Estate (to the north of Brighton) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. For estates staff at a university like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (0.9 miles north-east of Brighton), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. Any commercial site in Brighton is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Brighton is one of 29 places in Brighton and Hove on our list.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In a large town like Brighton, work on busy buildings is planned area by area, so the building keeps working. Send drawings or photos and we will set out a phasing plan with the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Related advice
FAQs: Brighton
Can being near the sea in Brighton affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Brighton General Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is typically dealt with by topping up.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors

What else we do in Brighton
What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up usually puts that right and we’ll flag it at quote stage.
Doing it in-house
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.
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.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
