Expansion joint sealing in Aldington Frith, done properly
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you’re dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Aldington Frith, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Aldington Frith, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
FAQs: Aldington Frith
Is Aldington Frith too far out for you?
No. Places such as Aldington Frith are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Bliby Business Centre, by Aldington Frith?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldington Frith and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bliby Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Rural sites near Aldington Frith may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What else we do in Aldington Frith
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Aldington Frith. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldington Frith
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Aldington Frith. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
