Expansion joint sealing in Dunning, done properly
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dunning is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Dunning, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Dunning can form part of a wider programme across Perth and Kinross.
What else we do in Dunning
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
What we are called out for in Dunning
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
For floors and slabs around Dunning, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
Joints that move: notes for Dunning
Dunning is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Hospital campuses such as St Margaret's Hospital, 5.3 miles to the west of Dunning, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dunning is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Dunning
Will our site in Dunning have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Margaret's 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.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
