Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greenrigg
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we will tell you honestly. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Greenrigg, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Warehouse floors and decks around Greenrigg
Greenrigg is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For an occupier at a site such as Harthill Industrial Estate (0.9 miles west of Greenrigg), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. For a school such as Armadale Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. A healthcare site such as Tippethill Hospital (to the north-east of Greenrigg) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Harthill Industrial Estate, by Greenrigg?
Yes, sites like Harthill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Greenrigg. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Tippethill Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs near Greenrigg are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Related advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Resealing early limits the damage.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
