Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Climpy
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. The joint has to be wide enough for the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and depth is controlled using closed-cell backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints. For wider joints, the width-to-depth ratio is often around 2:1, as the manufacturer advises. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, across podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Climpy it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Climpy is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Climpy
Being in the east of Scotland, Climpy gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
In and around Climpy, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Your questions answered
Is Climpy off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do we have to stop operations in Climpy while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Climpy are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.

What else we do in Climpy
What affects the price in Climpy
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Climpy
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 so backing is set before sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
Large sites such as Law Hospital, 6 miles to the west of Climpy, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
