Floor joint sealing across Shoreham
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
Floor joint sealing in Shoreham
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. Site teams most often ask us about filler that has parted from one face and open saw cuts full of debris, across construction joints, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. Whoever orders the work in Shoreham, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Shoreham, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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.

- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints

Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
