How we handle expansion joint sealing in Rolvenden
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. If you have previous reseals laid over old sealant and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Rolvenden, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Rolvenden, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rolvenden
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Halls, stores and units around places like Rolvenden may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Parks like Business Park, 2 miles north of Rolvenden, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Hospitals like West View Hospital, 2 miles to the east of Rolvenden, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Schools like Rolvenden Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Recent enquiries here include premises near The Star Public House, among other places. A little further out are The C.M Booth Collection (less than half a mile west) and Benenden Hospital (2.4 miles north).
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

What else we do in Rolvenden
General trades versus a specialist
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Commercial clients in Rolvenden
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
