Expansion joint sealing in Broomhill
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, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. If you’re dealing with joints packed with grit and debris and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broomhill from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

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. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Joints that move: notes for Broomhill
Broomhill lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Broomhill is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For an estate such as Albyn Hospital, 0.9 miles to the north of Broomhill, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Retail sites such as Garthdee Retail Park (to the south of Broomhill) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.
Broomhill is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. We send applicators to Broomhill for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 40 places in Aberdeen, large and small.
Business premises anywhere in AB10, AB15 and AB12 are within our area for movement joints. Buildings on Ruthrie Road, Norfolk Road and Kaimhill Road are within our area. Access to Broomhill is via the A93. If your building is just outside Broomhill, we cover Kaimhill (1 mile south), Garthdee (1 mile south-west), West End (1 mile north-west), Braeside (1 mile west) and Kincorth (1 mile south-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Dyce (6 miles north-west), Tillydrone (3 miles north), Donside Village (3 miles north), Cummings Park (3 miles north), Danestone (3 miles north) and Bucksburn (4 miles north-west).
Around Broomhill
We work on buildings around Airyhall Primary School, North East of Scotland Music School and Duthie Park and the streets around them. Broomhill’s nearest station is Aberdeen station, roughly 1.4 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Trinity Centre (1.5 miles north-east) and Aberdeen Trades Hospitals (1.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Upper Lake and Kincorth Hill.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Broomhill
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Broomhill: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Albyn Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Garthdee Retail Park, near Broomhill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Broomhill, Garthdee Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What happens if it rains on the day?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
When to call us in Broomhill
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For estates staff at a university like Robert Gordon University, 0.9 miles south-west of Broomhill, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
