About floor joint sealing in Medway
For sites across Medway, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. Site teams most often ask us about joint fill separating from the concrete and untidy open joints in a retail unit, on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes.
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
How we quote
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across Medway
Most floor and movement joint work across Medway has to happen while sites keep operating, so we work in phases and hand areas back as they cure.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in Medway still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. On the coastal side of Medway, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Gillingham: At a retail site such as Parkwood Shopping Centre (1.8 miles south-east of Gillingham), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. At places like Beechings Way Industrial Centre, 0.6 miles to the north of Gillingham, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Why deal with it now?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it typically ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
Commercial clients in Medway
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Medway can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Medway.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common questions from Medway clients
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is Medway in your area?
Yes. Sites across Medway are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
