Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance.

Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Hornsey normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. In Hornsey, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Ask for a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Why act early in Hornsey
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we’ll say which joints need what. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Hornsey
- Specification-led, product-correct work

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What affects the price in Hornsey
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Questions about Hornsey
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Ann's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Arena Shopping Park, near Hornsey?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hornsey, Arena Shopping Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Hornsey in your area?
Yes. Hornsey falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
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.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
