Traffic, movement and joints around Errol
With the shore within about 1 mile, Errol counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Errol is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
In and around Errol, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

About our expansion joint sealing in Errol
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Errol start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Errol, 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, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we are called out for in Errol
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way, so we check width and movement before quoting.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Once a joint near Errol opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we will say so before quoting. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Errol before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Errol: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Errol outside your area?
Not at all. Errol is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a site in Errol have to shut while its 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 hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us right away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Errol with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
