Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Chignall Smealy outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will our site in Chignall Smealy have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we will say which joints need what. Converted and older buildings near places like Chignall Smealy tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
