Expansion joint sealing around Frogham: points for this area
Frogham 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. Frogham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Schools like Nonington Church of England Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Warehouse floors on estates like Aylesham Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Frogham) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Frogham is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Frogham, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Frogham. We also cover London, around 61 miles from Frogham.

Commercial clients in Frogham
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Frogham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Frogham
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Another example is CT3 Business Park, 1.9 miles to the north-west of Frogham, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Questions we’re asked in Frogham
Would you work within a site like Buckland Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Frogham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
