Floor joint sealing across Eling
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Eling
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. Site teams most often ask us about joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. Searching for sealant specialists in Eling? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Rural business units around smaller places such as Eling often have new slabs laid inside older buildings. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints

Joints that move: notes for Eling
Eling lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Eling there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Parks like Brokenford Business Park (to the north-west of Eling) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. University campuses such as Southampton Solent University (to the east of Eling) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

What happens if it’s left?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. For buildings in places like Eling, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Brokenford Business Park, close to Eling?
Yes. We cover Eling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Brokenford Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Western Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
What we are called out for in Eling
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Manor Park Industrial Estate (under half a mile north-east of Eling): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work in places the size of Eling is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
