Floor joint sealing in Bayford, done properly
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and drivers complaining about joints on a route. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bayford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Bayford have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we’re called out for in Bayford
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Open saw cuts full of debris
For a school such as Richard Hale School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hertford County Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Bayford outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Bayford, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- 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.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
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.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
