Questions about Great Bentley
Is Plough Road Business Centre, near Great Bentley, within your area?
Yes. We cover Great Bentley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Plough Road Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Great Bentley too far out for you?
Not at all. Great Bentley is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

On site: what to expect
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, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Great Bentley, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Great Bentley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.

Business parks such as Plough Road Business Centre (less than half a mile south of Great Bentley) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Great Bentley?
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Schools such as Great Bentley Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Building owners, agents and FMs in Great Bentley
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the finish matters as much as the performance.
