About our floor joint sealing in Sidlesham Common
Across Sidlesham Common and the rest of West Sussex, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you are dealing with saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and filler that has parted from one face, we can put it right, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and construction joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Sidlesham Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Sidlesham Common, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Sidlesham Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions from Sidlesham Common clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a coastal location like Sidlesham Common affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
