Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually 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. For work around Hollow Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

About our floor joint sealing in Hollow Street
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 retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and joint fill separating from the concrete. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hollow Street? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Hollow Street have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why act early in Hollow Street
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Older rural buildings around Hollow Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours, and we’ll confirm what the specified product offers.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Is Hollow Street too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hollow Street are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
