Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
How we handle floor joint sealing in East Dean
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 are dealing with trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in East Dean, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like East Dean, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in East Dean as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like East Dean are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- 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 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.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

FAQs: East Dean
Is East Dean off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Chichester Centre?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
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.
Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in East Dean
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
Around East Dean, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
