Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Floor joint sealing in Petts Wood, done properly
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. Site teams most often ask us about failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on loading bays, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Petts Wood? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Petts Wood normally have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail work is phased around trading. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up typically puts that right and we will flag it at quote stage.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. In Petts Wood, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Halo Business Park, close to Petts Wood?
Yes, sites like Halo Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Petts Wood. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Princess Royal University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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 Petts Wood in your area?
Yes. We cover Petts Wood, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
