Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Mashbury while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Mashbury outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Mashbury
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. The enquiries we see most involve brittle joint filler breaking up and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, across saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Searching for sealant specialists in Mashbury? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Mashbury have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For work around Mashbury, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Cost factors for floor joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. 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.

What else we do in Mashbury
Common problems we fix in Mashbury
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
For an estate such as Broomfield Hospital, 3.3 miles to the east of Mashbury, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
