About our floor joint sealing in Pound Hill
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. If you’re dealing with filler that has parted from one face and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pound Hill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around places the size of Pound Hill, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Their slabs and walls still need movement joints that work.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Pound Hill
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Open saw cuts full of debris
At places like Meadowbrook Industrial Estate, 1 mile north-west of Pound Hill, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Pound Hill, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- 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.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

FAQs: Pound Hill
Do you cover business parks and estates near Pound Hill, such as Worth Corner Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Pound Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Worth Corner Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Pound Hill too far out for you?
No. Places such as Pound Hill are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Why deal with it now?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. For buildings in places like Pound Hill, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Traffic, movement and joints around Pound Hill

External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
