Questions about Friockheim
Is Friockheim too far out for you?
Not at all. Friockheim is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Friockheim?
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.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond, so the new seal holds.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
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.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Friockheim
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Friockheim with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
