What else we do in South Bersted
Floor joint sealing in South Bersted: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, South Bersted counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. South Bersted sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
On industrial estates such as Durban Road Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north of South Bersted, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Sites like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, less than half a mile south of South Bersted, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
South Bersted is about 1 mile north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. South Bersted sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around South Bersted need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- 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.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in South Bersted
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
Across sites such as Arun Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the north-east of South Bersted, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Questions about South Bersted
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Durban Road Industrial Estate, near South Bersted, within your area?
Yes, sites like Durban Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of South Bersted. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, 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.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
