How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Hormead
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and untidy open joints in a retail unit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Great Hormead, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Great Hormead, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Watermill Industrial Estate, near Great Hormead?
Yes, sites like Watermill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Great Hormead. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Great Hormead off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. For buildings around smaller places like Great Hormead, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. We’ll tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Great Hormead?
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.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Dock area joints that have failed first
At places like Park Farm Industrial Estate, which lies west of Great Hormead, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
