Why act early in Crindledyke
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Crindledyke, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Jobs near Crindledyke are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Questions about Crindledyke
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cleland Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do we have to stop operations in Crindledyke while the joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Crindledyke?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
Look out for the following:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
Schools like Coltness High School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Comparing quotes
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
