How the job changes by surface
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.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Floor joint sealing in Oakwood, done properly
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve drivers complaining about joints on a route and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Oakwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Most London buildings can’t shut a car park, loading bay or warehouse floor for long. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows

What affects the price in Oakwood
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we are called out for in Oakwood
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- A rough ride across broken joints
Another example is Brunswick Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south of Oakwood), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

FAQs: Oakwood
Do you take on jobs in Oakwood where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Priory Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
