How we handle floor joint sealing in Waterside
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve brittle joint filler breaking up and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Waterside, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Jobs around smaller places like Waterside are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common problems we fix in Waterside
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Corinium Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south of Waterside): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Who will actually carry out the work

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Waterside
Waterside has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Waterside is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
University campuses such as Buckinghamshire New University, 2.1 miles to the south-west of Waterside, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Large sites such as Amersham Hospital (2.5 miles south of Waterside) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Any commercial site in Waterside is covered. Our Buckinghamshire coverage takes in 308 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Reading page (24 miles or so).

- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Advice
Questions about Waterside
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Amersham Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Waterside off your patch?
Not at all. Waterside is within our area. 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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
