Floor joint sealing in Cocking, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you are dealing with brittle joint filler breaking up and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Cocking 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.
Jobs around smaller places like Cocking are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Loading bays and dock areas
We usually work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Floor joint sealing in Cocking: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Cocking included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. The 3 miles around Cocking take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
At places like Midhurst Business Centre, 2.2 miles to the north of Cocking, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. If you manage units on an estate such as Holmbush Industrial Estate, which lies north of Cocking, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Questions about Cocking
Will you take on work at estates like Holmbush Industrial Estate, close to Cocking?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cocking, Holmbush Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Cocking off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
Normally only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
When to call us in Cocking
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is usually where joint failure starts.
Look out for the following:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Hospitals like Midhurst Community Hospital, 3 miles to the north of Cocking, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. If others near Cocking need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Quoting for work in Cocking
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
