Expansion joint sealing in Forgandenny, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Forgandenny? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For outside joints near Forgandenny, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Forgandenny. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Forgandenny is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints, and report any chipped edges early.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
What we are called out for in Forgandenny
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
On a site such as Broxden Business Park, which lies north of Forgandenny, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Can you seal car park deck joints?

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
