Common questions from Southwick clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Southwick, such as Grange Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Grange Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Southwick. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Southlands Hospital, something you do?
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.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
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 and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
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.
About our floor joint sealing in Southwick
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. We work on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a rough ride across broken joints and sealant pulled out along a truck route. Whoever orders the work in Southwick, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Southwick, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Work in places the size of Southwick is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Surface by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Southwick
With the shore within about 1 mile, Southwick counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Less than 3 miles from Southwick there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Warehouse floors on estates like Grange Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Southwick) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. At a retail site such as Goldstone Retail Park, 2.7 miles to the east of Southwick, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. For a school such as Eastbrook Primary Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Southwick is about 2 miles east of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Anywhere in BN42, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, including Southwick.
Postcode districts covered here: BN42, BN41 and BN43. Among the streets we cover are Station Road, Roman Crescent and Southwick Street, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Southwick sits on or close to the A259 and A270, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job.

Leave it or put it right?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
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.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Structural cracking in the slab
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
