Floor joint sealing in Ashington, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and joint fill separating from the concrete. Whoever orders the work in Ashington, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Jobs around smaller places like Ashington are planned so the whole job is done in one visit. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Your questions answered
Is Ashington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Ashington is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to stop operations in Ashington while the joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why act early in Ashington
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. For buildings around smaller places like Ashington, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us

When to call us in Ashington
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
Look out for the following:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- A rough ride across broken joints
On a site such as Wiston Business Park, which lies south-west of Ashington, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Ashington can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
