About our expansion joint sealing in Crieff
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Crieff. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crieff first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For outside joints near Crieff, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Quoting for work in Crieff
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. 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: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs near Crieff are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Warehouse floors and decks around Crieff
Crieff is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Business parks such as Crioch Business Centre (to the south-west of Crieff) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. Sites like Crieff Community Hospital, less than half a mile south-west of Crieff, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. In a school such as Morrison's Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
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. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a hospital such as Crieff Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
