Doing it in-house
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.
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.
Floor joint sealing in Hardwick, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you have sealant pulled out along a truck route and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hardwick? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Hardwick, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Traffic, movement and joints around Hardwick
Hardwick has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Hardwick is about 61 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
For an occupier at a site such as Lakeside Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles east of Hardwick, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. Across sites such as Wessex Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles north-west of Hardwick, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. A campus such as University of Oxford (to the south of Hardwick) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Questions about Hardwick
Can you work on a hospital site such as Witney Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hardwick too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hardwick is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours, and we’ll confirm what the specified product offers.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Hardwick can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Around Hardwick, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
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.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
