What affects the price in Capel
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Floor joint sealing in Capel, done properly
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and loading bays, and the failures we are asked to look at most are broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Capel is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Capel, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Joints that move: notes for Capel
Capel is about 26 miles 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. Capel sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
A healthcare site such as Horsham Hospital (to the south of Capel) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Capel is about 5 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Across the RH5 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 379 places in Surrey, large and small. Brighton is covered too, some 24 miles away.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
FAQs: Capel
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Horsham Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Capel too far out for you?
No. Places such as Capel are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Capel may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you

Related advice
When to call us in Capel
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
In a school such as Scott Broadwood CofE Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the existing material will be dealt with
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
Leave it or put it right?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Converted and older buildings near places like Capel tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
