Need floor joint sealing in Upper Common?

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

What sets the cost

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

  • Any access equipment needed
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

What to include in your enquiry

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Specification clauses that apply

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Floor joint sealing in Upper Common, done properly

Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and filler that has parted from one face. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upper Common 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 Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

When to bring in a specialist

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Common

Dirt and spillage gather in open joints, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Halls, stores and units around places like Upper Common may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Why us?

  • A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
  • 12-month guarantee on workmanship
  • Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
  • One contact handling all your sites

After the work

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Hold traffic back until the product has cured
  • Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
  • Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
  • Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled

Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.

Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Upper Common

Less than 3 miles from Upper Common there are two named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Upper Common 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 where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.

Office parks like Viables Business Park (to the north of Upper Common) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. At places like Viables Industrial Estate (2.9 miles north of Upper Common), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. A healthcare site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 5.2 miles north of Upper Common, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Upper Common is about 4 miles south of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Upper Common can call on us for floor joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small. We also cover Reading, some 18 miles away.

FAQs: Upper Common

Will you take on work at estates like Viables Business Park, close to Upper Common?

Yes, sites like Viables Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Upper Common. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Is Upper Common too far out for you?

No. Places such as Upper Common are covered as much as the big 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.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

When is resealing likely to be due?

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.

What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?

Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.

Will we need to close the floor?

In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Upper Common may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
  3. Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
  4. Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
  5. Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
  6. Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.

Preparing the site

  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Point out any areas we must not close
