Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Steep Marsh
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability while depth is limited by backing rod or, in shallow joints, a bond-breaker. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1 and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and new sealant over old, now failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Steep Marsh tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Steep Marsh have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from Steep Marsh clients
Can you work at a site such as Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, by Steep Marsh?
Yes, sites like Upper Adhurst Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Steep Marsh. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Steep Marsh off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Steep Marsh?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
For a school such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Leave it or put it right?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Steep Marsh 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.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Steep Marsh are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
