Expansion joint sealing in Fintry, done properly
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and joints where the bead has lost adhesion. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fintry is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For outside joints near Fintry, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Fintry as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Fintry
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Questions we’re asked in Fintry
Will our site in Fintry have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Which documents can you supply for work in Fintry?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Outside work depends on conditions: rain, frost and condensation all stop sealant bonding. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Fintry. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What happens if it’s left?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. For buildings near Fintry, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

In and around Fintry, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Once a joint near Fintry opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
