How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kit's Coty
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you are dealing with rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kit's Coty, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Kit's Coty, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

FAQs: Kit's Coty
Is Kit's Coty too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Lower Bell Industrial Estate, near Kit's Coty?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kit's Coty, Lower Bell Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Doing it in-house
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
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.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Rural sites near Kit's Coty may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
