How we handle expansion joint sealing in Dunecht
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. Most enquiries involve torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dunecht first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For outside joints near Dunecht, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Dunecht
Being in the east of Scotland, Dunecht gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
On a site such as Kirkwood Business Park, 2.5 miles west of Dunecht, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

More services for Dunecht
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Dunecht?
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Around Dunecht, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Leave it or put it right?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Commercial clients in Dunecht
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Dunecht. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
