Questions about Cotman's Ash
Is Cotman's Ash too far out for you?
Not at all. Cotman's Ash is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Sevenoaks Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Traffic, movement and joints around Cotman's Ash
Cotman's Ash is about 19 miles from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds. Cotman's Ash is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A healthcare site such as Sevenoaks Hospital (to the south-west of Cotman's Ash) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Office parks like Chaucer Business Park (to the south of Cotman's Ash) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Schools like Kemsing Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Cotman's Ash
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building

- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cotman's Ash
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Older rural buildings around Cotman's Ash move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
