Questions about Wivelsfield Green
Does your area include sites such as Park Farm Business Park, near Wivelsfield Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Wivelsfield Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Park Farm Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Princess Royal Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Wivelsfield Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down, so they are often the place to start.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
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 and keeps on top of the rest.
What we are called out for in Wivelsfield Green
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
For a school such as Wivelsfield Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
