Building owners, agents and FMs in Gowrie Park
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Expansion joint sealing in Gowrie Park, done properly
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. If you’re dealing with damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Gowrie Park start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Industrial estates around Scotland’s cities hold warehouses, trade units and distribution sheds, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Ninewells Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does a coastal location like Gowrie Park affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Expansion joint sealing around Gowrie Park: what changes locally
Gowrie Park sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Gowrie Park has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Business parks such as Dundee Technology Park, under half a mile to the south of Gowrie Park, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. At a retail site such as Kingsway West Retail Park, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Gowrie Park, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. Hospitals like Ninewells Hospital, 0.7 miles east of Gowrie Park, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
