Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Brede, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Brede
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site 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 loading bays, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are dock area joints that have failed first and a rough ride across broken joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Brede first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Brede, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Brede. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Constructionline member
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
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.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- 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
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Joints that move: notes for Brede
At about 49 miles from central London, Brede is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Brede sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Parks like Wheel Farm Business Park (1.9 miles south-west of Brede) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. For an estate such as Conquest Hospital, which lies south of Brede, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Brede is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN31, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places, large and small. We also cover Brighton, some 32 miles away.
Commercial sites across TN31 are covered. Streets here include Brede Hill and Stubb Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Cackle Street (1 mile north), Westfield (2 miles south-west), Kent Street (3 miles south-west), Sedlescombe (3 miles west) and Mill Corner (3 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Hastings (5 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles south-west), St Leonards (6 miles south), Hastings Old Town (5 miles south), Belmont (5 miles south) and Heathfield (15 miles west).

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
Do you need floor joint sealing in Brede?
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
Schools like Brede Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Conquest Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Brede, such as Wheel Farm Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brede, Wheel Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
