Traffic, movement and joints around Edzell
Edzell is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around Edzell, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Hospital campuses such as Stracathro Hospital, 2.7 miles south-east of Edzell, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Expansion joint sealing in Edzell
For movement joints in Edzell, photos and approximate lengths are the best start. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed. You can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. Site teams most often ask us about expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Edzell from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Edzell, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

What affects the price in Edzell
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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 happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- CHAS accredited
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Edzell 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.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
Edzell: questions and answers
Will our site in Edzell have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Stracathro Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
