Expansion joint sealing for Lower Stoke sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Lower Stoke
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Lower Stoke. We work on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting into the wall through a failed joint and movement joints with split or torn sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Lower Stoke? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Lower Stoke, 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 Medway. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Lower Stoke
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Lower Stoke. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Around Lower Stoke, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

What else we do in Lower Stoke
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
What affects the price in Lower Stoke
What shapes the price:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Your questions answered
Is Lower Stoke too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must our site in Lower Stoke stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. We agree a revised date with you.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
