What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
About our floor joint sealing in Great Stambridge
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and open saw cuts full of debris. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Great Stambridge tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Great Stambridge have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. For buildings around smaller places like Great Stambridge, 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.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
What we’re called out for in Great Stambridge
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Look out for the following:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
For estates staff at a university like University of Essex, 4 miles south of Great Stambridge, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
