You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
About our expansion joint sealing in Abronhill
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. Most enquiries involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and debris jammed in movement joints, across brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Abronhill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Abronhill is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Abronhill with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Abronhill
Less than 3 miles from Abronhill there are two named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Abronhill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Schools such as Abronhill High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Warehouse floors on estates like Lenziemills Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south-west of Abronhill) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Abronhill?
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
At places like Blairlinn Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the south-west of Abronhill, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Abronhill before they leak.
