When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps

- Precast concrete panel joints

Expansion joint sealing in Barassie, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below.

Around smaller Scottish places like Barassie, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Joints that move: notes for Barassie
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Barassie. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Barassie has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Warehouse floors on estates like Irvine Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles north-west of Barassie, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Schools such as Marr College have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Barassie is about 1 mile north of Troon, in South Ayrshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Barassie, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Barassie is one of 48 places in South Ayrshire on our list. Glasgow is covered too, some 24 miles away.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Barassie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Questions about Barassie
Does a coastal location like Barassie affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ayrshire Central Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available, and we will plan the phasing around it.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Barassie
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Large sites such as Ayrshire Central Hospital, 4.8 miles north of Barassie, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
