Murston: questions and answers
Our building in Murston is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you take on work at estates like Kent Science Park, close to Murston?
Yes. We cover Murston and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kent Science Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Murston
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Murston is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Small units near places like Murston are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Saw-cut and construction joints in those floors need the right filler or sealant for the forklifts and trolleys that use them.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Murston as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Murston
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Murston need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints, whether or not the floor is coated. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Surface by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Murston
Murston sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Central London is about 38 miles from Murston. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital.
Office parks like Kent Science Park, 2.3 miles to the south-west of Murston, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. In a school such as Sunny Bank Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Common problems we fix in Murston
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is usually where joint failure starts.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
A healthcare site such as Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital (to the south-west of Murston) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
