Floor joint sealing for Marehill sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Marehill
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and construction joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are dock area joints that have failed first and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints.

Smaller community and commercial buildings around Marehill have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Marehill clients
Is Station Approach Industrial Estate, near Marehill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Marehill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Station Approach Industrial Estate. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Must our site in Marehill stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Why act early in Marehill
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Marehill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Marehill
Marehill has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Rainfall across the South East, Marehill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside joints in yards and car parks still have to be dry before sealing, while winter salting gets into any joint left open.
For a school such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. If you manage units on an estate such as Station Approach Industrial Estate (1.5 miles west of Marehill), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Broomers Hill Business Park (1.5 miles north of Marehill): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
