Floors, slabs and movement joints in How Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open. Central London is about 23 miles from How Green. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Schools like Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Hospitals like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, 2 miles to the west of How Green, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
How Green is about 7 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Anywhere in TN8, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. How Green is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. London is covered too, around 23 miles from How Green.

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in How Green
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, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and a rough ride across broken joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in How Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like How Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Cost factors for floor joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around How Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.

- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.

Questions we are asked in How Green
Must our site in How Green stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is How Green off your patch?
No. Places such as How Green are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
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 typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
