How we handle floor joint sealing in Hever
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on loading bays, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are drivers complaining about joints on a route and dock area joints that have failed first. Searching for sealant specialists in Hever? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Hever, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in Hever
Hever: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Must our site in Hever stop work while the joints are done?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Why deal with it now?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hever, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will 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.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the appearance is part of the brief.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Hever
Hever is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Hever is about 23 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
A healthcare site such as Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, 1.8 miles west of Hever, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Schools like Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
