FAQs: Marden
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Marden?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Must our site in Marden stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we will plan around them.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Small buildings around Marden suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints

Expansion joint sealing around Marden: how the place shapes the job
Marden is about 34 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift. Marden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.
Around Marden, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Schools like Marden Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Cost factors for movement joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement, with primer where specified.
