About our floor joint sealing in Fishbourne
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and joint fill separating from the concrete. Whoever orders the work in Fishbourne, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Fishbourne, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Fishbourne
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Dock area joints that have failed first
In a school such as Wootton Community Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

FAQs: Fishbourne
Would you work within a site like St Mary's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work at a site such as Wootton Business Park, by Fishbourne?
Yes. We cover Fishbourne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wootton Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Our process
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. Rural sites near Fishbourne may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Fishbourne
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Halls, stores and units around places like Fishbourne may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Fishbourne
Fishbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Rainfall across the South East, Fishbourne included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
On a site such as Wootton Business Park, 1.9 miles south-west of Fishbourne, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations. Hospitals like St Mary's Hospital, 3.9 miles to the west of Fishbourne, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Fishbourne can call on us for floor joints. 125 places across the Isle of Wight fall within our area, including Fishbourne. We also cover Portsmouth, some 8 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: PO33. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Kite Hill, Ashlake Farm Lane and Ashlake Copse Road. You’ll find Fishbourne on or near the B3331. If your building is just outside Fishbourne, we cover Wootton (1 mile west), Havenstreet (1 mile south), Hillgrove (2 miles south-west), Whippingham (2 miles west) and Staplers (3 miles south-west). A short drive away, we cover Newport (4 miles south-west), Cowes (4 miles north-west), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (3 miles north-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

The nearest railway station is Ryde Esplanade station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include St Mary's Hospital (3.9 miles west) and East Cowes Castle (3.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Fishbourne includes Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
