Floor joint sealing across Great Bardfield
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Floor joint sealing in Great Bardfield, done properly
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you are dealing with dock area joints that have failed first and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, we can put it right, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Great Bardfield, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Great Bardfield, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For a building around Great Bardfield, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site

Advice
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Great Bardfield
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
Schools such as Great Bardfield Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Great Bardfield while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Which documents can you supply for work in Great Bardfield?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation normally comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
