From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Marsh Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Marsh Green
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. 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 new sealant over old, now failing and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Marsh Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Marsh Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They tend to be overlooked until something leaks or cracks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.
Marsh Green: questions and answers
Do we have to stop operations in Marsh Green while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Would you work within a site like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Why act early in Marsh Green
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Halls, stores and units around places like Marsh Green may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Marsh Green?
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
In and around Marsh Green, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
