When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Drumnadrochit
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you are dealing with movement joints with split or torn sealant and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Drumnadrochit, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Drumnadrochit, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What happens if it’s left?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Drumnadrochit. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. For work around Drumnadrochit, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Drumnadrochit?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do we have to stop operations in Drumnadrochit while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The way it has failed usually tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work in Drumnadrochit?
Yes. We take on work across Drumnadrochit, with one number for every area we cover.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

What affects the price in Drumnadrochit
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
