Your questions answered
Is Adur off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Southlands Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Adur, done properly
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor. Searching for sealant specialists in Adur? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site near Adur, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Adur
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Adur. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Adur is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Estates like Dolphin Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Adur) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. For a school such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Sites like Southlands Hospital (to the south-east of Adur) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Adur for work on floor joints. Adur is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 7 miles away.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Adur need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Why act early in Adur
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Older rural buildings around Adur move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
