About our floor joint sealing in Litlington
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you’re dealing with soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and filler that has parted from one face, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Litlington tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Litlington have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Traffic, movement and joints around Litlington
Litlington sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Less than 3 miles from Litlington there are two named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
For a school such as Alfriston School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A campus such as University of Brighton (4.2 miles west of Litlington) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. Hospital campuses such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, 4.1 miles to the west of Litlington, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Older rural buildings around Litlington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. If others near Litlington need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Common questions from Litlington clients
Is a hospital such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a coastal location like Litlington affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
