Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Penshurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Floor joint sealing around Penshurst: what changes locally
Penshurst is about 26 miles from central London. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Large sites such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (4.2 miles east of Penshurst) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For a school such as Penshurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Penshurst?
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Filler that has parted from one face
Office parks like Speldhurst Business Park, 2.5 miles to the south-east of Penshurst, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
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.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
Common questions from Penshurst clients
Is Speldhurst Business Park, near Penshurst, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Penshurst, Speldhurst Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Penshurst too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
