Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Floor joint sealing in Dunbridge
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. Site teams most often ask us about saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Whoever orders the work in Dunbridge, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Dunbridge, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Dunbridge need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Traffic, movement and joints around Dunbridge
Dunbridge 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, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. At about 70 miles from central London, Dunbridge is within reach of the capital. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
Schools such as Awbridge Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. At places like Yokesford Hill Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles south-east of Dunbridge, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Hospitals like Romsey Community Hospital, 3.9 miles to the south-east of Dunbridge, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Dunbridge is about 4 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Commercial clients in Dunbridge can call on us for floor joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area.

Common questions from Dunbridge clients
Can you work at a site such as Home Farm Business Centre, by Dunbridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Dunbridge, Home Farm Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Romsey Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work in Dunbridge?
Yes. Sites across Dunbridge are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
