How we handle floor joint sealing in Funtington
Across Funtington and the rest of West Sussex, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cracked and crumbling joint fill and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Funtington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Funtington, 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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
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.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
What we are called out for in Funtington
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
On a site such as Hambrook Business Park, 0.8 miles south-west of Funtington, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Where floor joints take the most wear near Funtington
Funtington is about 55 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Funtington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Schools such as Funtington Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. At places like Broadbridge Business Centre, 2.1 miles to the south of Funtington, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Funtington 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.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Funtington. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions about Funtington
Will you take on work at estates like Hambrook Business Park, close to Funtington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Funtington, Hambrook Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Funtington too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Funtington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will we need to close the floor?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
