On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a town like Newhaven, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit. Tell us when the building is open and we will plan to suit.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- 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.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Floor joint sealing in Newhaven
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. Site teams most often ask us about cracked and crumbling joint fill and filler that has parted from one face, across loading bays, construction joints and joints along racking aisles.

In a town the size of Newhaven, floor joints are mostly in industrial and trade units, supermarkets and car parks. Small units are often busy, so joints are done at times that suit the occupier.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements, so their joints wear fastest. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newhaven
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In a town such as Newhaven, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, so joints between old and new are often the first to go. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Warehouse floors and decks around Newhaven
Newhaven lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Newhaven 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.
Large sites such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (to the south-east of Newhaven) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Schools such as UTC@Harbourside have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Estates like Newhaven Industrial Park (to the south-east of Newhaven) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
