Expansion joint sealing in Oare
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you have hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Oare, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Oare have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Joints that move: notes for Oare
Oare lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Oare is about 44 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
In a school such as Davington Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For floors and slabs around Oare, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Oare may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Oare change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Does a site in Oare have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What else we do in Oare
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Older rural buildings around Oare move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
