Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Carlton Hill
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Carlton Hill carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and loading bay joints breaking down. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Carlton Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places the size of Carlton Hill, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Carlton Hill change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Would you work within a site like Royal Sussex County Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
How many days will you need on site?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Carlton Hill
With the shore within about 1 mile, Carlton Hill counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The 3 miles around Carlton Hill take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
If you manage units on an estate such as Freshfield Industrial Estate, under half a mile east of Carlton Hill, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. For estates staff at a university like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (1.6 miles north of Carlton Hill), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Sites like Royal Sussex County Hospital, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Carlton Hill, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
Why act early in Carlton Hill
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Other services in Carlton Hill
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
