About our expansion joint sealing in Drakemyre
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you are dealing with expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can help, on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Drakemyre, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Drakemyre, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Expansion joint sealing in Drakemyre: the local picture
Drakemyre is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
In and around Drakemyre, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. For an estate such as Woodland View, 5.9 miles to the south of Drakemyre, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Drakemyre is about 4 miles north of Kilwinning, in North Ayrshire. We send applicators to Drakemyre for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across North Ayrshire, 54 places are covered, including Drakemyre. We also cover Glasgow, around 20 miles from Drakemyre.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Drakemyre. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Drakemyre: questions and answers
Is Drakemyre off your patch?
Not at all. Drakemyre is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Woodland View?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting so the same failure isn’t repeated.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
