Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Dungate
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint fill separating from the concrete and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dungate tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Dungate, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Floor joint sealing in Dungate: the local picture
Dungate lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Dungate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
A healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles north of Dungate) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Campuses like Canterbury Christ Church University, 3.8 miles to the south-west of Dungate, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. Parks like Kent Science Park (to the north-west of Dungate) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Dungate is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Anywhere in ME9, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 39 miles away.

Questions we are asked in Dungate
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dungate, such as Kent Science Park?
Yes, sites like Kent Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Dungate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is Dungate in your area?
Yes. We cover Dungate, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Dungate, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Quoting for work in Dungate
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Loading bays and dock areas
We typically work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dungate
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Dungate, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
