We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Ditchling Common carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ditchling Common is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Ditchling Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Ditchling Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Structural cracking in the slab
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
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 finish matters as much as the performance.
Warehouse floors and decks around Ditchling Common
Ditchling Common lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital. Ditchling Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Large sites such as St Francis Hospital, 3 miles north of Ditchling Common, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For buildings at a park such as Ditchling Common Business Park, under half a mile north of Ditchling Common, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Common problems we fix in Ditchling Common
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Look out for the following:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
At places like Mid Sussex Business Park (less than half a mile north of Ditchling Common), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

FAQs: Ditchling Common
Would you work within a site like St Francis Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Ditchling Common Business Park, near Ditchling Common, within your area?
Yes. We cover Ditchling Common and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Ditchling Common Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
