About our floor joint sealing in Plumpton
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Plumpton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Plumpton, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Plumpton?
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Large sites such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (to the south-east of Plumpton) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Plumpton
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. For buildings around smaller places like Plumpton, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Questions about Plumpton
Does a site in Plumpton have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We will give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
