Questions we are asked in Hertford Heath
Is Hertford Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of 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.
Is a hospital such as Hertford County Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Hertford Heath
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you’re dealing with untidy open joints in a retail unit and brittle joint filler breaking up, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hertford Heath? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In and around smaller places like Hertford Heath, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
When to call us in Hertford Heath
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
For an estate such as Hertford County Hospital, 2.1 miles to the north-west of Hertford Heath, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The named product and why it was chosen

What else we do in Hertford Heath
Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. A flexible product suits them better than a stiff filler.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Hertford Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
