How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
About our floor joint sealing in Selmeston
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are a gap opening alongside old joint filler and untidy open joints in a retail unit.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Selmeston too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Selmeston?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
For an estate such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, 5.3 miles to the south-west of Selmeston, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Selmeston can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Selmeston are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Quoting for work in Selmeston
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Selmeston
Selmeston is about 47 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Selmeston 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Parks like Berwick Court Farm Business Park, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Selmeston, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. University campuses such as University of Brighton, 4.1 miles to the south-west of Selmeston, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
