How we handle expansion joint sealing in Dailly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing. Most enquiries involve spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below, across brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Dailly it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Dailly is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Dailly, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
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.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When to call us in Dailly
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
For floors and slabs around Dailly, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Common questions from Dailly clients
Must our site in Dailly stop work while the joints are done?
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 Girvan Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably.
Warehouse floors and decks around Dailly
The west of Scotland, where Dailly is, gets more rain than the east. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
Large sites such as Girvan Community Hospital (5.2 miles west of Dailly) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
