How we handle expansion joint sealing in Marlow Bottom
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Marlow Bottom it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Marlow Bottom have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial clients in Marlow Bottom
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What affects the price in Marlow Bottom
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Marlow Bottom
Marlow Bottom lies roughly 30 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors. Rainfall across the South East, Marlow Bottom included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, and where de-icing salt is spread in winter, open joints let it in.

Large sites such as Marlow Community Hospital, 1.2 miles south of Marlow Bottom, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Business parks such as Globe Business Park, 1.4 miles south-east of Marlow Bottom, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Converted and older buildings near places like Marlow Bottom tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Marlow Bottom clients
Is Marlow Bottom too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Marlow Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
