What we’re called out for in Martin
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Hospitals like Royal Victoria Hospital, 3.6 miles to the south-west of Martin, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Floor joint sealing in Martin
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Martin first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Martin, measurements and photographs up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Martin
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Halls, stores and units around places like Martin may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Martin: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Martin. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Rainfall across the South East, Martin included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
For buildings at a park such as White Cliffs Business Park, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Martin, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. For a school such as Langdon Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Common questions from Martin clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Martin, such as White Cliffs Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Martin, White Cliffs Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can being near the sea in Martin affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
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. The quote sets out what goes where.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
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.
