Expansion joint sealing in Dinnet, done properly
For movement joints in Dinnet, photographs and approximate lengths are the best start. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting into the wall through a failed joint and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dinnet tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Dinnet, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Aboyne 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.
Will our site in Dinnet have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Joints that move: notes for Dinnet
The east of Scotland, where Dinnet is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For floors and slabs around Dinnet, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Dinnet is about 24 miles south-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. We send applicators to Dinnet for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Aberdeenshire, 179 places are covered, including Dinnet. Our Aberdeen page has more on work in that area (29 miles or so).
Commercial sites across AB34 are covered. Main routes into Dinnet include the B9158, useful when we plan access and materials. Nearby places we also cover include Aboyne (4 miles east), Tarland (4 miles north), Birsemore (4 miles east), Ballater (6 miles west) and Kincardine O'Neil (8 miles east). A short drive away, we cover Banchory (15 miles east), Alford (13 miles north-east) and Torphins (10 miles east).

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. Around smaller places like Dinnet, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Specification-led, product-correct work
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Where we can, we combine work around Dinnet with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

When to call us in Dinnet
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears, which is why depth control matters.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
For an estate such as Aboyne Hospital, which lies east of Dinnet, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
