When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Expansion joint sealing in Drongan
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. If you have weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Drongan, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Drongan, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Drongan. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Drongan?
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
Hospital campuses such as Ailsa Hospital (to the west of Drongan) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
FAQs: Drongan
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ailsa Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will our site in Drongan have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. In everyday use the two names are often swapped.
