Maintenance after handover
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
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.

What else we do in Friston
What we are called out for in Friston
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Campuses like University of Brighton, 2.5 miles to the east of Friston, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Why it’s worth doing now in Friston
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it typically ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- CHAS accredited
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Friston: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the sea air around Friston change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

For an estate such as Eastbourne District General Hospital, 3 miles north-east of Friston, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
