Industrial and floor joint sealing in Whitehawk, Brighton and Hove

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Whitehawk

Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you’re dealing with cracked and crumbling joint fill and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Whitehawk it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

In a smaller place such as Whitehawk, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.

We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Cost factors for floor joints

What shapes the price:

• The total length or number of joints
• Whether the work must be split into stages
• Any access equipment needed
• The product specified

The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we need to price the job

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

• Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
• Whether an asbestos survey exists
• Whether the building will be occupied during the work
• Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Our process

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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. What matters most for a job in Whitehawk is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.

1. First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
2. A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
3. Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
4. Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
5. The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
6. The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.

What we need from you

• Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
• Flag any permit to work we will need
• Move anything stored against the joints
