About our floor joint sealing in Upper Beeding
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upper Beeding tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Upper Beeding have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Quoting for work in Upper Beeding
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
What we are called out for in Upper Beeding
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Another example is Henfield Business Park, 2.8 miles to the north-east of Upper Beeding, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Upper Beeding may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
Common questions from Upper Beeding clients
Can you work at a site such as Mackley Industrial Estate, by Upper Beeding?
Yes. We cover Upper Beeding and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mackley Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Upper Beeding too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Upper Beeding is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
