How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Chithurst, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Chithurst
For sites in Chithurst and across West Sussex, the process is short: 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 and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, retail and showroom floors and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are untidy open joints in a retail unit and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chithurst 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 Chithurst, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Chithurst as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Chithurst
Chithurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Chithurst. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Hospitals like Midhurst Community Hospital (to the east of Chithurst) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. In a school such as Stedham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Chithurst is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. If you are looking for floor joint sealing in Chithurst, we can help. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Chithurst.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
What we are called out for in Chithurst
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Another example is Holmbush Industrial Estate (2.8 miles south-east of Chithurst), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
Surface by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital?
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 a smaller place like Chithurst outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
