About our floor joint sealing in High Garrett
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. If you have drivers complaining about joints on a route and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover High Garrett? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as High Garrett, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common problems we fix in High Garrett
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Schools like Bocking Church Street Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near High Garrett may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- 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.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Questions about High Garrett
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Braintree Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Springwood Industrial Estate, near High Garrett?
Yes, sites like Springwood Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of High Garrett. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is High Garrett in your area?
Yes. We cover High Garrett, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Older rural buildings around High Garrett move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
