About our expansion joint sealing in Marehill
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. If you have chipped joint edges on forklift routes and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Marehill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Jobs around smaller places like Marehill are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Marehill, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

What else we do in Marehill
Warehouse floors and decks around Marehill
Less than 3 miles from Marehill there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
Estates like Station Approach Industrial Estate (to the west of Marehill) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Broomers Hill Business Park (1.5 miles north of Marehill): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Around Marehill
Around Marehill, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Rising Sun Inn, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Pulborough station, roughly 1.6 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Amberley Castle (4 miles south-west) and The Storrington And District Museum (2.9 miles south-east). Open spaces near Marehill include Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
FAQs: Marehill
Is Marehill too far out for you?
Not at all. Marehill is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a site in Marehill have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Surface by surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces priming where the maker calls for it.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
