About expansion joint sealing in Aberdeenshire

For movement joints in Aberdeenshire, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We’ll come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. You can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to talk the joints through. The enquiries we see most involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints.

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.

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.
Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

Landmarks near Peterhead

Around Peterhead, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Peterhead and The Cross Keys pub, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Peterhead Community Hospital (less than half a mile south-east) and Keith Inch Castle (1.1 miles east). The countryside around Peterhead includes Meet Hill.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across Aberdeenshire

Sites across Aberdeenshire rarely stop for joint work, so we work in phases and hand areas back as they cure.

In Scotland, managing agents for tenements are often called property factors, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Along the coast in Aberdeenshire, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Peterhead: Hospitals like Peterhead Community Hospital, less than half a mile south-east of Peterhead, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Another example is Dales Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south of Peterhead, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

What happens if it’s left?

Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan.

What your quote should include

Their public liability cover
Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
The terms of the workmanship guarantee

What sets the cost

These are the things that shape the price:

How much existing material needs removing
The product specified
Joint width, depth and condition
Access and working height

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What we need to price the job

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

Anything awkward about access or site hours
Any specification or named product
When you need the work done
Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

Different surfaces, different methods

Car park decks and ramps

Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.

Brickwork and blockwork joints

Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.

General trades versus a specialist

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

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.

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb

FAQs: Aberdeenshire

Can weather delay the job?

It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

How long before the joints can be used?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?

It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.

How long does movement joint sealing take?

Expect a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing and phased work can stretch that to suit your site. We will confirm when each area can be used again.

What causes movement joint sealant to fail?

Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting.

What will the job cost?

That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
