Surface by surface
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
FAQs: Boxted Cross
Is Boxted Cross too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Boxted Cross are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cygnet Hospital Colchester?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
What happens if it’s left?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Older rural buildings around Boxted Cross move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to call us in Boxted Cross
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Lodge Lane Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south-east of Boxted Cross): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The named product and why it was chosen
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

For work around Boxted Cross, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
