Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Doune?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will our site in Doune 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 much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you cover Doune?
Yes. We cover Doune and the rest of Stirling. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Doune. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Traffic, movement and joints around Doune
Doune is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Around Doune, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

When to call us in Doune
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
In and around Doune, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- When you need the work done
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
