Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Cost factors for floor joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
When to call us in Lower Halstow
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
In a school such as Lower Halstow Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Warehouse floors and decks around Lower Halstow
Lower Halstow sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Lower Halstow 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.
Across sites such as Newington Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles south-west of Lower Halstow, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Business parks such as Newington Enterprise Centre, 1 mile to the south of Lower Halstow, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Lower Halstow
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Medway Maritime Hospital, something you do?
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 the sea air around Lower Halstow change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
