What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Marlpit Hill
Across Marlpit Hill and the rest of Kent, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and loading bays, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. Most enquiries from Marlpit Hill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Jobs around smaller places like Marlpit Hill are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Joints that move: notes for Marlpit Hill
Marlpit Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, yard and car park joints are only sealed when they’re dry and clean, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints. Marlpit Hill lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors; their floors carry heavy traffic every shift.
In a school such as Edenbridge Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Marlpit Hill is about 7 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Marlpit Hill for work on floor joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, large and small. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 21 miles from Marlpit Hill.
Work on floor joints is covered throughout TN8, whatever the building. Buildings on Pit Lane, Main Road and Meadow Lane are within our area for floor joints. Just outside Marlpit Hill, we also work in Mowshurst (1 mile east), Edenbridge (1 mile south), Troy Town (1 mile west), Pootings (1 mile north-east) and Four Elms (2 miles east).

What we’re called out for in Marlpit Hill
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
Sites like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, 1.5 miles to the south of Marlpit Hill, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Common questions from Marlpit Hill clients
Does a site in Marlpit Hill have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Edenbridge and District War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
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: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Typically only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints along racking aisles

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Marlpit Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints

Leave it or put it right?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. For buildings around smaller places like Marlpit Hill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
