Common questions from Claddach Kirkibost clients
Does the sea air around Claddach Kirkibost change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does a site in Claddach Kirkibost have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
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 exactly is a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Expansion joint sealing in Claddach Kirkibost, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you are dealing with sealant peeling off one face of the joint and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Claddach Kirkibost, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Claddach Kirkibost, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too, and a second visit means paying for access again. Where it helps, we quote both options. For buildings near Claddach Kirkibost, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, 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.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Claddach Kirkibost, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement, with primer where specified.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
