Common questions from Great Stonar clients
Can you work at a site such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, by Great Stonar?
Yes. We cover Great Stonar and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ramsgate General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Great Stonar
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and a rough ride across broken joints, across construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Great Stonar it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Great Stonar have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Great Stonar
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Great Stonar. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Great Stonar lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. The roads out of London are lined with trade parks and distribution sheds.
Large sites such as Ramsgate General Hospital (to the north-east of Great Stonar) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Business parks such as Birnham Farm Business Centre (to the south-west of Great Stonar) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. For a school such as Sandwich Infant School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Great Stonar, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

What affects the price in Great Stonar
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
