FAQs: Fisher
Would you work within a site like St Richard's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Quarry Lane Industrial Estate, near Fisher, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Fisher and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Quarry Lane Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Do you cover Fisher?
Yes. We take on work across Fisher.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Floor joint sealing in Fisher
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and a gap opening alongside old joint filler. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fisher tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Fisher, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- 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
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Fisher may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Fisher
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Around Fisher, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Fisher
Fisher is within about 2 miles of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Fisher lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as City Business Park (2.5 miles north of Fisher): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. In a school such as Chichester High School For Girls, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Fisher is about 3 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Fisher
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Warehouse floors on estates like Quarry Lane Industrial Estate (to the north of Fisher) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
