About our expansion joint sealing in Glenmavis
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have previous reseals laid over old sealant and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can put it right, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Glenmavis from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Glenmavis, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Warehouse floors and decks around Glenmavis
Glenmavis is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them. Less than 3 miles from Glenmavis there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Large sites such as University Hospital Monklands, 1.2 miles south of Glenmavis, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. In a school such as Airdrie Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For an occupier at a site such as Upper Mill Street Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Glenmavis, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.

Questions about Glenmavis
Is Glenmavis too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as University Hospital Monklands?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
The workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from sign-off. Regular sweeping and inspection help the joints last.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Normally the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When to bring in a specialist
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Glenmavis. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
