Shoreham-by-Sea: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Dolphin Industrial Estate, close to Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes. Our area takes in Shoreham-by-Sea and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dolphin Industrial Estate included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Southlands Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, 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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Shoreham-by-Sea
For sites in Shoreham-by-Sea and across West Sussex, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. If you are dealing with saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and cracked and crumbling joint fill, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Shoreham-by-Sea is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Shoreham-by-Sea, as in most towns, brickwork and panel movement joints on public and commercial buildings age quietly. A split or hardened joint lets rain into the wall, and it can no longer take up the movement.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In a town such as Shoreham-by-Sea, most jobs are single buildings. We start with your photographs, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
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.
Surface 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
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Floor joint sealing around Shoreham-by-Sea: how the place shapes the job
Shoreham-by-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Shoreham-by-Sea lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Buckingham Park Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Hospital campuses such as Southlands Hospital (to the north-east of Shoreham-by-Sea) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Loading bay joints breaking down

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done

Why act early in Shoreham-by-Sea
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Many buildings in towns like Shoreham-by-Sea have been extended or altered, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
