How we handle expansion joint sealing in Balmore
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; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Balmore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Balmore: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Balmore, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
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, photographs and a description will do.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Balmore. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Other services in Balmore
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
Common questions from Balmore clients
Is Balmore too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Balmore is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Stobhill Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
