Fairlands: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Fairlands, such as Normandy Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fairlands, Normandy Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Surrey County Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
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 when we agree the phasing.
Floor joint sealing in Fairlands
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and joint fill separating from the concrete, on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Fairlands, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Fairlands have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For work around Fairlands, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why act early in Fairlands
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. Converted and older buildings near places like Fairlands tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When to call us in Fairlands
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Open saw cuts full of debris
Hospital campuses such as Royal Surrey County Hospital (1.5 miles south of Fairlands) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
