Expansion joint sealing around Glen Moriston: how the place shapes the job
The west of Scotland, where Glen Moriston is, gets more rain than the east. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Around Glen Moriston, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A joint near Glen Moriston that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Questions we’re asked in Glen Moriston
Is Glen Moriston off your patch?
Not at all. Glen Moriston is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which documents can you supply for work in Glen Moriston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Glen Moriston
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glen Moriston
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings near Glen Moriston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Glen Moriston, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, 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.
- 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.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
