About our expansion joint sealing in Addiewell
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic. If you have joints where the bead has lost adhesion and new sealant over old, now failing, we can help. Most enquiries from Addiewell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Addiewell: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, usually low-modulus.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Addiewell
The 3 miles around Addiewell take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. The east of Scotland, where Addiewell is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Office parks like West Calder Business Centre, 1.4 miles east of Addiewell, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. Across sites such as Mosshall Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Addiewell, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For an estate such as Tippethill House Hospital, 3.7 miles to the north-west of Addiewell, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

What else we do in Addiewell
Building owners, agents and FMs in Addiewell
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Addiewell can form part of a wider programme.
Why it’s worth doing now in Addiewell
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. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Addiewell with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Addiewell: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tippethill House Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like West Calder Business Centre, close to Addiewell?
Yes, sites like West Calder Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Addiewell. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks typically need a polyurethane.
Do you work in Addiewell?
Yes. We cover Addiewell, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Quoting for work in Addiewell
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
