Floor joint sealing for Chilmington Green sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
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 keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Chilmington Green
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and what we’re called in for most is loading bay joints breaking down and drivers complaining about joints on a route. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Chilmington Green it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Chilmington Green, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Broken concrete either side of the joint

Common questions from Chilmington Green clients
Can you work at a site such as Ellingham Industrial Estate, by Chilmington Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Chilmington Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ellingham Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

Surface by surface
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. We will tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed and fill up with dirt. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Chilmington Green?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Across sites such as Fairwood Industrial Park (1.8 miles north-east of Chilmington Green), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
