About our floor joint sealing in Sandy Balls
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. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and joints along racking aisles, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and loading bay joints breaking down. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Sandy Balls, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Sandy Balls have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Sandy Balls
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Fordingbridge Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Sandy Balls too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Sandy Balls are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Common problems we fix in Sandy Balls
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
Schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sandy Balls can form part of a wider programme.
Floor joint sealing in Sandy Balls: the local picture
The 3 miles around Sandy Balls take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Sandy Balls is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
At places like Fordingbridge Business Park, which lies west of Sandy Balls, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Hospitals like Fordingbridge Hospital (to the west of Sandy Balls) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
Sandy Balls is in Hampshire. We cover Sandy Balls, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small. We also cover Southampton, some 16 miles away.

Bigger towns within reach include Totton (11 miles east), Lymington (15 miles south-east), Romsey (13 miles east), New Milton (13 miles south), Ringwood (6 miles south) and Barton on Sea (14 miles south).
Around Sandy Balls

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Smaller jobs around Sandy Balls can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- 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.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
