What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Selsted
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are dock area joints that have failed first and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. For commercial sealant work in Selsted, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Selsted, 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.
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.

Advice
FAQs: Selsted
Is Selsted too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Barham Business Park, near Selsted, within your area?
Yes. We cover Selsted and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Barham Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Why deal with it now?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. Older rural buildings around Selsted 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: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Traffic, movement and joints around Selsted
Selsted is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. At about 60 miles from central London, Selsted is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Parks like Barham Business Park (2.2 miles north-west of Selsted) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. A healthcare site such as Royal Victoria Hospital, 5 miles south of Selsted, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For a school such as Selsted Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Selsted is about 5 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. We send applicators to Selsted for floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Selsted is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, about 60 miles away.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
