Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Comrie
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on brickwork movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and layers of sealant in a movement joint. Whoever orders the work in Comrie, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller Scottish places like Comrie, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Commercial clients in Comrie
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Comrie, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.

Common questions from Comrie clients
Is Comrie off your patch?
No. Places such as Comrie are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Crieff Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Timings are set out in the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When to call us in Comrie
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
A healthcare site such as Crieff Community Hospital, 5.4 miles east of Comrie, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
