What we are called out for in Fyvie
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
In and around Fyvie, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

Common questions from Fyvie clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Fyvie?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Fyvie too far out for you?
Not at all. Fyvie is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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 and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Our quote form is another easy route.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Fyvie
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Fyvie can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Fyvie with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Fyvie
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints

- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
