General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Elsted Marsh
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulled out along a truck route and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, across joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Most enquiries from Elsted Marsh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Elsted Marsh are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Elsted Marsh as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in the majority of cases.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.

What we are called out for in Elsted Marsh
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Parks like Midhurst Business Centre (2.6 miles east of Elsted Marsh) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Who will actually carry out the work

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors

Cost factors for floor joints
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Elsted Marsh: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Midhurst Business Centre, by Elsted Marsh?
Yes, sites like Midhurst Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Elsted Marsh. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Elsted Marsh may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
