Questions we’re asked in Upper Upnor
Is Castle View Business Centre, near Upper Upnor, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Upper Upnor and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Castle View Business Centre included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Upper Upnor off your patch?
Not at all. Upper Upnor is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Floor joint sealing in Upper Upnor, done properly
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Upper Upnor carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, across joints along racking aisles, construction joints and retail and showroom floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upper Upnor tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In and around smaller places like Upper Upnor, the concrete floors we see are often in converted farm buildings, small workshops and storage units. Joints in those slabs take vehicles, trolleys and foot traffic, and need a filler or sealant to match.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Traffic, movement and joints around Upper Upnor
Upper Upnor lies within about 2 miles of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Upper Upnor 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.
Schools such as Wainscott Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Hospital campuses such as Medway Maritime Hospital (to the south-east of Upper Upnor) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. At places like Gun Lane Business Centre, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Upper Upnor, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Upper Upnor is about 2 miles north-east of Rochester, in Medway. Across the ME2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 54 places in Medway. Our London page has more on work in that area.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
What affects the price in Upper Upnor
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Worn screed or surface finishes
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Upnor
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. For buildings around smaller places like Upper Upnor, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
