Our floor joint sealing service in West Berkshire

A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes.

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. 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.

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.
We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
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.

How we quote

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Floor joint sealing across West Berkshire: the area picture

Movement joints in brick, cladding panels and concrete appear on buildings all over West Berkshire, from schools to offices and car parks. When they fail, water and grit get in and the edges start to break.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, though outside work in West Berkshire still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.

Newbury: In a school such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. At places like Raceview Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the east of Newbury, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Keeping the joints sound

Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:

Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Let us know what the floor is cleaned with

On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.

Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.

What happens if it’s left?

Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it normally ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice.

Questions to ask before you book

Signs you need floor joint sealing

Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

Dock area joints that have failed first
Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Untidy open joints in a retail unit

Commercial clients in West Berkshire

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

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.

Different surfaces, different methods

Saw-cut induced joints

Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.

Forklift and pallet-truck routes

Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. We match the product to the wheel types and the traffic.

Questions about West Berkshire

How many days will you need on site?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually 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?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

What do you need from us to quote?

Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

What happens if the joint edges are damaged?

Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

How soon can traffic go back on the floor?

The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
