What we can’t put right

- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

About our expansion joint sealing in Aviemore
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. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aviemore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For outside joints near Aviemore, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Aviemore are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Aviemore
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Business parks such as Cairngorm Technology Park, less than half a mile east of Aviemore, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Common questions from Aviemore clients
Is a smaller place like Aviemore outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Weather matters for any external joint: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can normally carry on regardless.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What affects the price in Aviemore
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Aviemore
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Aviemore. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Aviemore is in the east of Scotland, which is drier 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.
For an estate such as Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Aviemore, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. At places like Dalfaber Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north-east of Aviemore, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
