About our expansion joint sealing in Dalmore
If you need expansion joint sealing in Dalmore, start with photos and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we will arrange a site visit if needed, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to talk the joints through. Most enquiries involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across precast concrete panel joints, car park decks and ramps and blockwork control joints. Most enquiries from Dalmore start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For outside joints near Dalmore, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Dalmore
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

What else we do in Dalmore
What affects the price in Dalmore
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Warehouse floors and decks around Dalmore
Dalmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Less than 3 miles from Dalmore there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
In a school such as Alness Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Hospitals like County Community Hospital (to the east of Dalmore) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as High Street Invergordon Industrial Estate (2.4 miles east of Dalmore): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Dalmore is about 15 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We send applicators to Dalmore for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
We cover the IV17 postcode districts. Being close to the A9, Dalmore is straightforward for us to reach. If your building is just outside Dalmore, we cover Alness (1 mile north-west), Invergordon (3 miles east), Cullicudden (3 miles south), Saltburn (4 miles east) and Evanton (4 miles south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Inverness (15 miles south), Cradlehall (15 miles south), Tain (11 miles north-east), Merkinch (14 miles south), Dingwall (9 miles south-west) and Dornoch (15 miles north-east). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.
What’s near Dalmore
Dalmore has its own railway station: Alness station. A little further out are Contullich Castle (2 miles north-west) and County Community Hospital (3.3 miles east). Not far away are Cnoc Fyrish and Loch Achnacloich.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Common questions from Dalmore clients
Is Dalmore too far out for you?
Not at all. Dalmore is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Dalmore affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Dalmore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
