How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Floor joint sealing in Hethe, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are drivers complaining about joints on a route and brittle joint filler breaking up. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hethe tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Hethe, 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.
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.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Hethe
Hethe lies roughly 55 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Hethe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
In a school such as Fringford Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. If you manage units on an estate such as Baynards Green Trading Estate (2.8 miles west of Hethe), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Sites like Bicester Community Hospital, 4.6 miles south of Hethe, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Hethe is about 4 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. If you are looking for floor joint sealing in Hethe, we can help. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Oxford, roughly 15 miles from Hethe.

Common questions from Hethe clients
Is Hethe too far out for you?
Not at all. Hethe is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Bicester Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
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 before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Hethe need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Around Hethe, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten and fill up with dirt. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
