Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Marden Thorn can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
