Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Clayholes
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. 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 are dealing with rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Clayholes first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Clayholes, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Quoting for work in Clayholes
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Clayholes, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Joints that move: notes for Clayholes
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Clayholes. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The east of Scotland, where Clayholes is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In a school such as Carnoustie High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Large sites such as Ashludie Hospital (to the west of Clayholes) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Clayholes is about 1 mile north-west of Carnoustie, in Angus. We send applicators to Clayholes for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Angus coverage takes in 65 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Dundee, some 10 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clayholes
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Clayholes before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

FAQs: Clayholes
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ashludie Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can being near the sea in Clayholes affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly, so external work waits for suitable conditions. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
