What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. If the edges look unsound, we will say so before any filling is done.
Floor joint sealing in Burwash Common, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you have filler that has parted from one face and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Burwash Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Burwash Common have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Burwash Common are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Confirm the product named in the specification

External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.

Questions about Burwash Common
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ticehurst House Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Swife Business Park, by Burwash Common?
Yes. We cover Burwash Common and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Swife Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burwash Common
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. For buildings around smaller places like Burwash Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

What we’re called out for in Burwash Common

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
On a site such as Swife Business Park (1.6 miles west of Burwash Common), the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
