About our floor joint sealing in Highwood
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Highwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Highwood have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and saves the edges.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Highwood
Rainfall across the South East, Highwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. The 3 miles around Highwood take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Hospitals like St Leonard's Hospital, 5.5 miles to the south-west of Highwood, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Another example is Carvers Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Highwood, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Highwood?
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:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Open saw cuts full of debris
Parks like Headlands Business Park, 1.3 miles to the west of Highwood, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Highwood are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.

What else we do in Highwood
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. Converted and older buildings near places like Highwood tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- One contact handling all your sites

FAQs: Highwood
Can you work at a site such as Headlands Business Park, by Highwood?
Yes. We cover Highwood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Headlands Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as St Leonard's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, 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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
