Floor joint sealing in Lydd
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a rough ride across broken joints and filler that has parted from one face. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lydd tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around places the size of Lydd, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lydd
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 normally ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. We will tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Lydd?
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
For an occupier at a site such as Peak Industrial Park, which lies north-east of Lydd, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Lydd
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Lydd. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. At about 58 miles from central London, Lydd is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
In a school such as Lydd Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Questions about Lydd
Is Lydd too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lydd are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Peak Industrial Park, by Lydd?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lydd, Peak Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
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 will confirm with the quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
