Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Lickfold
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. The enquiries we see most involve dock area joints that have failed first and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and loading bays. Most enquiries from Lickfold start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Lickfold have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Around Lickfold, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common problems we fix in Lickfold
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
Warehouse floors on estates like Hurstfold Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles north-west of Lickfold, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
FAQs: Lickfold
Would you work within a site like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Lickfold off your patch?
No. Places such as Lickfold 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.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
