How we handle expansion joint sealing in Teynham Street
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. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and previous reseals laid over old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Teynham Street is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In and around smaller places like Teynham Street, 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Teynham Street
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
Around Teynham Street, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
- The named product and why it was chosen
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
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, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Around Teynham Street, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colour agreed before work starts

Questions about Teynham Street
Does a coastal location like Teynham Street affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Must our site in Teynham Street stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What affects the price in Teynham Street
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Teynham Street are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
