Questions about Ifieldwood
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Crawley Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Basepoint Business Centre, near Ifieldwood, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ifieldwood, Basepoint Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ifieldwood
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you are dealing with open saw cuts full of debris and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can help, on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ifieldwood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Ifieldwood, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
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
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
- Saw-cut induced joints
What we are called out for in Ifieldwood
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Office parks like Basepoint Business Centre, 1.8 miles to the east of Ifieldwood, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with

Leave it or put it right?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Older rural buildings around Ifieldwood 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.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
