Floor joint sealing in Selham, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Selham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Selham have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Selham?
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:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Warehouse floors on estates like Hampers Common Industrial Estate (to the east of Selham) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

What else we do in Selham
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first, so they are often the place to start.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Selham can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Selham
At about 44 miles from central London, Selham is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Selham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
For an estate such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 2.9 miles west of Selham, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Questions about Selham
Is a smaller place like Selham outside your area?
No. Places such as Selham are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Hampers Common Industrial Estate, near Selham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Selham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hampers Common Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
