When to call us in Barnyards
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Around Barnyards, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Where floor joints take the most wear near Barnyards
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Barnyards. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Barnyards is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
For buildings at a park such as Bass Rock Business Park, 2.4 miles to the east of Barnyards, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common questions from Barnyards clients
Can you work at a site such as Bass Rock Business Park, by Barnyards?
Yes, sites like Bass Rock Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Barnyards. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does a coastal location like Barnyards affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
