Questions about Fontwell
Can you work at a site such as Tokar Industrial Park, by Fontwell?
Yes, sites like Tokar Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fontwell. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Fontwell outside your area?
Not at all. Fontwell is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Floor joint sealing in Fontwell, done properly
For sites in Fontwell and across West Sussex, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Whoever orders the work in Fontwell, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Fontwell can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- 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.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Warehouse floors and decks around Fontwell
Fontwell sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Fontwell has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Large sites such as Arundel and District Hospital (to the east of Fontwell) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For a school such as Ormiston Six Villages Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Doing it in-house
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fontwell
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Older rural buildings around Fontwell move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Fontwell
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Dock area joints that have failed first
On industrial estates such as Tokar Industrial Park, 1.8 miles south-east of Fontwell, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
