Compton: questions and answers
Must our site in Compton stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Petersfield Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Do you cover Compton?
Yes. We cover Compton, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Compton
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. If you have scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, we can help, on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and construction joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Compton, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Compton, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. Converted and older buildings near places like Compton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- One contact handling all your sites
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

What else we do in Compton
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
General trades versus a 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 easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Compton
Rainfall across the South East, Compton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Compton is about 53 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Large sites such as Petersfield Community Hospital, 5.7 miles to the north of Compton, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Compton is about 5 miles east of Horndean, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Compton is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Compton is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 11 miles from Compton.

Local landmarks in Compton
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Coach And Horses Public House, among other places. Compton’s nearest station is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 3.6 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Petersfield Community Hospital (5.7 miles north) and Clanfield Earthwork (4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
Common problems we fix in Compton
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.
Look out for the following:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
For a school such as Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Cost factors for floor joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Compton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
