About our expansion joint sealing in Marlow Common
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. The enquiries we see most involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Marlow Common tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Marlow Common have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Converted and older buildings near places like Marlow Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.

What else we do in Marlow Common
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Marlow Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
