Floor joint sealing in Dymchurch
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulled out along a truck route and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Dymchurch? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around places the size of Dymchurch, joints that need sealing tend to be in rural business units, farm buildings put to commercial use, schools and community buildings. Concrete floors and yards in these buildings move and crack like any others.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Commercial clients in Dymchurch
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Why act early in Dymchurch
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Dymchurch clients
Is Dymchurch too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our site in Dymchurch have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
