Floor joint sealing in Hound, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and loading bay joints breaking down. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hound from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Hound, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Traffic, movement and joints around Hound
Hound sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Rainfall across the South East, Hound included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Hospitals like Fareham Community Hospital, 2.7 miles east of Hound, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Schools such as The Hamble School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Hound, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Hound is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours so ask if the colour matters.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Hound: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Hound affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a hospital such as Fareham Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Hound, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

What else we do in Hound
When to call us in Hound
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
At places like Basepoint Business Centre, which lies north-west of Hound, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
