What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces.
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, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
About our expansion joint sealing in Mersham
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Mersham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Mersham, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Mersham as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Mersham
Mersham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Central London is about 52 miles from Mersham. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors.
In a school such as Mersham Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Business parks such as Mersham-le-Hatch Business Village, 0.7 miles north-east of Mersham, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
Mersham is about 3 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN25 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area.
Business premises anywhere in TN25 are within our area. Streets here include Church Road, The Street and Church Close. Just outside Mersham, we also work in Sevington (1 mile north-west), South Stour (1 mile south-west), Ridgeway (1 mile east), Hinxhill Park (2 miles north) and Smeeth (2 miles east).

Local landmarks in Mersham
We work on buildings around The Farriers Arms and Poulton Wood. For rail, the closest station is Ashford International station, about 2.9 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Ashford Designer Outlet (2.6 miles north-west) and William Harvey Hospital (1.7 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Mersham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Mersham: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Mersham, such as Mersham-le-Hatch Business Village?
Yes. Our area takes in Mersham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mersham-le-Hatch Business Village included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like William Harvey Hospital (Ashford), something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you cover Mersham?
Yes. Mersham is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Mersham
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
A healthcare site such as William Harvey Hospital (Ashford) (to the north of Mersham) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
