Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ditchling
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you have brittle joint filler breaking up and filler that has parted from one face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ditchling, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Ditchling are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. Converted and older buildings near places like Ditchling tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Warehouse floors and decks around Ditchling
Rainfall across the South East, Ditchling included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. The 3 miles around Ditchling take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Business parks such as Ditchling Common Business Park (2 miles north-east of Ditchling) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. A campus such as University of Sussex (to the south of Ditchling) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
Ditchling is about 3 miles south of Burgess Hill, in East Sussex. Anywhere in BN6, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.
We take on floor joints across the BN6 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include High Street, The Twitten and Charlton Gardens. We also cover Keymer (1 mile west), Westmeston (1 mile south), Hassocks (1 mile west), Clayton (2 miles south-west) and Hurst Wickham (2 miles north-west). A short drive away, we cover Seaford (14 miles south-east), Lewes (6 miles south-east), Crowborough (15 miles north-east), Uckfield (10 miles east), Newhaven (11 miles south-east) and Peacehaven (10 miles south-east).
What’s near Ditchling
We work on buildings around Downlands Community School and The Bull Hotel and the streets around them. Ditchling’s nearest station is Hassocks station, roughly 1.4 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft (less than half a mile west) and Clayton Castle (1.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Ditchling Beacon and Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Ditchling

When to call us in Ditchling
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Across sites such as Mid Sussex Business Park (2 miles north-east of Ditchling), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance

Questions about Ditchling
Is Ditchling Common Business Park, near Ditchling, within your area?
Yes. We cover Ditchling 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 send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Ditchling too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.
