About our floor joint sealing in Longcross
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. Most enquiries involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and drivers complaining about joints on a route, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Longcross is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Longcross, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we’ll take it from there.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Rural sites near Longcross may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Longcross?
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- A rough ride across broken joints
Across sites such as Chobham Business Centre (2 miles south-east of Longcross), floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Common questions from Longcross clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Longcross, such as Hersham Farm Business Park?
Yes. We cover Longcross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hersham Farm Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Peter's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
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 the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
