A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit.

FAQs: Shopwyke
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Shopwyke too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When to call us in Shopwyke
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
Office parks like Littlemeads Business Centre, under half a mile east of Shopwyke, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
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.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Older rural buildings around Shopwyke 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.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Shopwyke, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
