About our floor joint sealing in Herne Bay
Across Herne Bay and the rest of Kent, it runs the same way: 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. Site teams most often ask us about untidy open joints in a retail unit and brittle joint filler breaking up, across retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Herne Bay, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a town the size of Herne Bay, floor joints are mostly in industrial and trade units, supermarkets and car parks. Small units are often busy, so joints are done at times that suit the occupier.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Cost factors for floor joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Loading bays

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Herne Bay
Herne Bay sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. At about 54 miles from central London, Herne Bay is within reach of the capital. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Large sites such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (under half a mile east of Herne Bay) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Schools such as Herne Bay Junior School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Parks like Eddington Business Park, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Herne Bay, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

Common questions from Herne Bay clients
Our building in Herne Bay is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you take on work at estates like Eddington Business Park, close to Herne Bay?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Herne Bay, Eddington Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
