Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in East Street
For sites in East Street and across Kent, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. If you’re dealing with scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in East Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

East Street: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ramsgate General Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is East Street off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Street
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Older rural buildings around East Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around East Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Common problems we fix in East Street
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Loading bay joints breaking down
For buildings at a park such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, 1.6 miles south of East Street, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

Traffic, movement and joints around East Street
East Street is about 62 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For an estate such as Ramsgate General Hospital, 5.7 miles to the north-east of East Street, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Schools like Sandwich Technology School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
East Street is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We cover East Street and the rest of Kent, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 931 places in Kent. We also cover London, some 62 miles away.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
