Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Traffic, movement and joints around Burnside of Duntrune
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Burnside of Duntrune. 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. Burnside of Duntrune is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, typically low-modulus laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
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.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
