Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Appleford-on-Thames tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

What affects the price in Appleford-on-Thames
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Other services in Appleford-on-Thames
Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Questions we’re asked in Appleford-on-Thames
Would you work within a site like Didcot Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Southmead Industrial Estate, near Appleford-on-Thames, within your area?
Yes, sites like Southmead Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Appleford-on-Thames. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Leave it or put it right?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment before or alongside any coating work. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Appleford-on-Thames, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Appleford-on-Thames, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
