Ickham: questions and answers
Is Ickham too far out for you?
Not at all. Ickham is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Martins Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Quoting for work in Ickham
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product

Floor joint sealing around Ickham: points for this area
Rainfall across the South East, Ickham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Ickham lies roughly 57 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
For an occupier at a site such as Wingham Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles south-east of Ickham, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear. In a school such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Ickham is about 4 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Ickham is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for floor joints. Our London page has more on work in that area (57 miles or so).

When to call us in Ickham
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
For estates staff at a university like Canterbury Christ Church University, 4 miles to the west of Ickham, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Ickham, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
