Why act early in Little Almshoe
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment before or alongside any coating work. Around Little Almshoe, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Structural cracking in the slab
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Warehouse floors and decks around Little Almshoe
Little Almshoe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in. Little Almshoe is about 30 miles from central London. 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.
Sites like Pinehill Hospital (2 miles north of Little Almshoe) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Schools such as St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Advice
Little Almshoe: questions and answers
Is Horizon Technology Park, near Little Almshoe, within your area?

Is Little Almshoe too far out for you?
No. Places such as Little Almshoe are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What we’re called out for in Little Almshoe
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Business parks such as Horizon Technology Park (2.9 miles south-east of Little Almshoe) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
