What we’re called out for in Chapel of Garioch
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears, which is why depth control matters.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Hospital campuses such as House Of Daviot Hospital, 3.2 miles to the north-east of Chapel of Garioch, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

In smaller places such as Chapel of Garioch, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Chapel of Garioch clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like House Of Daviot Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does a site in Chapel of Garioch have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Around smaller places like Chapel of Garioch, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Sealing early protects the edges.
Quoting for work in Chapel of Garioch
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

- Removal of failed or old sealant

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
