Expansion joint sealing in Duncrievie, done properly
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Duncrievie from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller Scottish places like Duncrievie, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions we’re asked in Duncrievie
Is Duncrievie too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Bridge of Earn Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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 weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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 site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler.
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Duncrievie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Joints that move: notes for Duncrievie
Being in the east of Scotland, Duncrievie gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Hospital campuses such as Bridge of Earn Hospital (5.3 miles north of Duncrievie) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For floors and slabs around Duncrievie, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
