How we handle floor joint sealing in Hailsham
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you’re dealing with brittle joint filler breaking up and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Hailsham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In Hailsham, as in most towns, brickwork and panel movement joints on public and commercial buildings age quietly. Once the sealant hardens or splits, water gets into the wall and the joint no longer works.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hailsham
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Look out for the following:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Diplocks Way Industrial Estate (less than half a mile south-west of Hailsham): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

Common questions from Hailsham clients
Will you take on work at estates like Crown Close Industrial Estate, close to Hailsham?
Yes. We cover Hailsham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Crown Close Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Amberstone Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. In Hailsham, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. If you have more than one building in Hailsham, they can often be done on the same visit. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
