Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

About our expansion joint sealing in Blythswood Hill
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. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Blythswood Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Scotland’s cities have multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, university and hospital estates, all with movement joints in decks, floors and walls. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
FAQs: Blythswood Hill
Does a site in Blythswood Hill have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
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 the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. We agree a revised date with you.
Why act early in Blythswood Hill
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
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.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- CHAS accredited

On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
