Site staff or a sealant 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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Perrywood
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and debris jammed in movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Perrywood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In and around smaller places like Perrywood, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Perrywood
At about 47 miles from central London, Perrywood is within reach of the capital. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Rainfall across the South East, Perrywood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Around Perrywood, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Perrywood is about 4 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. We send applicators to Perrywood for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Perrywood is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 47 miles from Perrywood.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with photographs.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When to call us in Perrywood
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Joints packed with grit and debris
For a school such as Selling Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Perrywood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Common questions from Perrywood clients
Is Perrywood too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Perrywood?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
