About our floor joint sealing in Saltdean

Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and untidy open joints in a retail unit, on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Saltdean is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

In a smaller place such as Saltdean, floor and movement joints are often in agricultural and rural business units, schools and the odd small industrial yard. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Saltdean as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect

A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and we clear our waste as we work. Several jobs near Saltdean can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.

  1. We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
  2. You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
  3. Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
  4. Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
  5. The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
  6. Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Flag any permit to work we will need

Joints that move: notes for Saltdean

Saltdean sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Saltdean lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.

Hospital campuses such as Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital (to the north-west of Saltdean) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Campuses like University of Brighton - Falmer campus (to the north-west of Saltdean) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Saltdean is about 1 mile west of Telscombe, in Brighton and Hove. We send applicators to Saltdean for floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 29 places across Brighton and Hove fall within our area, including Saltdean.

Leave it or put it right?

Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

Cost follows what’s involved: 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

  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • Clear, fixed quotes
  • One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
  • Fully insured, including public liability cover

Take a look at how commercial sealant jobs are priced and how we’re accredited.

Cost factors for floor joints

Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:

  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Location, for remote and island sites

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’ll price your job on its own details.

Sending details for a quote

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Your programme or deadline
  • The postcode of the building

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

Saltdean: questions and answers

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital, something you do?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.

Is Saltdean too small for you to travel to?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

What do you need from us to quote?

Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.

How long will the new sealant last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Who decides which product is used?

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.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Common problems we fix in Saltdean

An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.

It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:

  • Sealant pulled out along a truck route
  • Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
  • A gap opening alongside old joint filler
  • Drivers complaining about joints on a route

Another example is Meridian Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the east of Saltdean, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • How the existing material will be dealt with

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Doing it in-house

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
