About our floor joint sealing in Hordle
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. If you have loading bay joints breaking down and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Hordle start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Small units near places like Hordle are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Several jobs near Hordle can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Questions we are asked in Hordle
Can you work on a hospital site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Hordle off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hordle?
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
In a school such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hordle
With the shore within about 2 miles, Hordle counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Hordle is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For an occupier at a site such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 2.3 miles west of Hordle, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. Hospitals like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 3.3 miles to the east of Hordle, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

Why act early in Hordle
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. In a smaller place such as Hordle, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
