Questions about Cunninghamhead
Do we have to stop operations in Cunninghamhead while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Would you work within a site like University Hospital Crosshouse?
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.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What affects the price in Cunninghamhead
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
When to call us in Cunninghamhead
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.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Sites like University Hospital Crosshouse (to the south-east of Cunninghamhead) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Cunninghamhead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
