Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Haugh of Urr, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing is typically the answer, not replacing the element. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Haugh of Urr before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

FAQs: Haugh of Urr
Is Haugh of Urr off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a site in Haugh of Urr have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
