Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers and the broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Quoting for work in Grantown-on-Spey

Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ian Charles Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Achnagonalin Industrial Estate, close to Grantown-on-Spey?
Yes. Our area takes in Grantown-on-Spey and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Achnagonalin Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load, and the seal across it keeps water and debris out.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Where we can, we combine work around Grantown-on-Spey with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. 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.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
What we are called out for in Grantown-on-Spey
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
For an occupier at a site such as Achnagonalin Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the south of Grantown-on-Spey, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
