Floor joint sealing in Play Hatch
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Play Hatch
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Play Hatch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Play Hatch have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
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 usually taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For a building around Play Hatch, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What else we do in Play Hatch
Why act early in Play Hatch
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it typically ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Older rural buildings around Play Hatch move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Quoting for work in Play Hatch
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
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
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
