Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Poling
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve untidy open joints in a retail unit and a rough ride across broken joints, across loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Poling, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Poling have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Poling clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Zachary Merton Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Poling, such as The Vinery Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Poling and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as The Vinery Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Poling
With the shore within about 3 miles, Poling counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The 3 miles around Poling take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
For an occupier at a site such as The Vinery Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north-east of Poling, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. In a school such as The Littlehampton Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For an estate such as Zachary Merton Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Poling, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Poling is about 2 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We cover Poling and the rest of West Sussex, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, large and small. We also cover Brighton, around 17 miles from Poling.

Near you in Poling

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
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.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Poling are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What else we do in Poling
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
