When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps

- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Crookston
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
For an occupier at a site such as Scotts Road Industrial Estate, 1 mile west of Crookston, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.

Questions we are asked in Crookston
Would you work within a site like Ross Hall Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Scotts Road Industrial Estate, near Crookston?
Yes, sites like Scotts Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Crookston. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class so there are no surprises.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- 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, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- 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
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
