About our floor joint sealing in Keynor Estate
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Site teams most often ask us about joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and filler that has parted from one face, on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Keynor Estate, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Keynor Estate, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Keynor Estate
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
In a school such as Sidlesham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Proof of insurance
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
Common questions from Keynor Estate clients
Is a smaller place like Keynor Estate outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What happens if it’s left?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Older rural buildings around Keynor Estate move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Joints that move: notes for Keynor Estate
Keynor Estate lies within about 1 mile of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At about 59 miles from central London, Keynor Estate is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
Hospitals like St Richard's Hospital (to the north of Keynor Estate) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. For estates staff at a university like University of Chichester, which lies north-east of Keynor Estate, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

Landmarks near Keynor Estate
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Academy. For rail, the closest station is Chichester station, roughly 4.4 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Selsey Lifeboat Museum (2.9 miles south) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north).
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
