Floor joint sealing in Hoyle
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. Site teams most often ask us about saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, across joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and loading bays. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hoyle, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Hoyle have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Hoyle: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Hoyle off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.

What else we do in Hoyle
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hoyle are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Floor joint sealing around Hoyle: how the place shapes the job
Hoyle 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 gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Hoyle. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Midhurst Business Centre (2.4 miles north-west of Hoyle): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. In a school such as Midhurst Rother College, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Hoyle can call on us for floor joints, as part of our coverage of West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
We usually work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
