Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Hardgate 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. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Which documents can you supply for work in Hardgate?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
About our floor joint sealing in Hardgate
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and sealant pulled out along a truck route. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Hardgate is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Hardgate is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Structural cracking in the slab
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Site staff or a sealant 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
