Burgh Hill: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hawkhurst Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Parsonage Farm Business Centre, near Burgh Hill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Burgh Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
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 it all comes out first.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Burgh Hill
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and loading bays, and the failures we are asked to look at most are dock area joints that have failed first and a gap opening alongside old joint filler. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burgh Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Burgh Hill, 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: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Burgh Hill
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burgh Hill
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Converted and older buildings near places like Burgh Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Burgh Hill
Rainfall across the South East, Burgh Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Burgh Hill lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Parks like Parsonage Farm Business Centre, 2.7 miles to the north-west of Burgh Hill, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. For an estate such as Hawkhurst Community Hospital (2.7 miles north-east of Burgh Hill), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Burgh Hill is about 11 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Burgh Hill sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Common problems we fix in Burgh Hill
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Look out for the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
In a school such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What to look for in a quote

- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Diagnose, treat, sign off
