What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Floor joint sealing in Horseman Side, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Horseman Side it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Horseman Side have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Horseman Side, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Horseman Side
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
Schools like Drapers' Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Horseman Side may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Horseman Side: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Suttons Manor Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Horseman Side too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Floor joint sealing in Horseman Side: the local picture
Horseman Side sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.

For an estate such as Suttons Manor Hospital, which lies north-west of Horseman Side, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
