Expansion joint sealing in Culloden
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Most enquiries involve expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Culloden it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For outside joints near Culloden, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Culloden as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Warehouse floors and decks around Culloden
With the shore within about 2 miles, Culloden counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being in the west of Scotland, Culloden gets more rain than eastern areas. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
In a school such as Culloden Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. A healthcare site such as Raigmore Hospital (to the south-west of Culloden) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Culloden with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Common problems we fix in Culloden
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
For estates staff at a university like University of the Highlands and Islands, 3.8 miles west of Culloden, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
