How we handle expansion joint sealing in Findhorn
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. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are chipped joint edges on forklift routes and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Findhorn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Findhorn: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

From enquiry to 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. Where we can, we combine work around Findhorn with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from Findhorn clients
Is a hospital such as Leanchoil Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Our building in Findhorn is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane, and the specification has the final say.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Expansion joint sealing around Findhorn: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Findhorn. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The east of Scotland, where Findhorn is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Around Findhorn, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Sites like Leanchoil Hospital, 3.6 miles to the south of Findhorn, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Surface by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Resealing early limits the damage.
