Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kencot
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with cracked and crumbling joint fill and filler that has parted from one face, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Kencot, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Kencot have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Kencot, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Traffic, movement and joints around Kencot
Kencot is about 67 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. 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.
Across sites such as West Oxon. Industrial Park, which lies north-east of Kencot, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. On industrial estates such as Carterton South Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Kencot, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. In a school such as St Peter's Church of England School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Kencot is about 2 miles south-west of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Our applicators travel to Kencot for work on floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Kencot is one of 423 places we cover in Oxfordshire for floor joints. We also cover Oxford, some 16 miles away.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Kencot are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- 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.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Questions we are asked in Kencot
Does your area include sites such as Carterton South Industrial Estate, near Kencot?
Yes. Our area takes in Kencot and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Carterton South Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Kencot off your patch?
Not at all. Kencot is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you supply?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
