Expansion joint sealing in Bonkle, done properly
For movement joints in Bonkle, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photos don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. To discuss the joints first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. If you’re dealing with hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bonkle, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Bonkle, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in Bonkle
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bonkle. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Traffic, movement and joints around Bonkle
Being in the east of Scotland, Bonkle gets less rain than the west coast. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Schools like Coltness High School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Bonkle is about 3 miles east of Wishaw, in North Lanarkshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Bonkle, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

Questions we are asked in Bonkle
Would you work within a site like Cleland Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do we have to stop operations in Bonkle while the joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. Where it’s visible beforehand, we will say so when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Let us know the opening hours and which levels or bays have to stay available and we will plan around them.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Bonkle. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Bonkle
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Sites like Cleland Hospital (to the west of Bonkle) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
What to look for in a quote
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
