Expansion joint sealing in Huntingtower, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. The enquiries we see most involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, on podiums and floor movement joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Huntingtower, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller places such as Huntingtower, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Huntingtower clients
Is Inveralmond Business Centre, near Huntingtower, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Huntingtower and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Inveralmond Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Huntingtower too far out for you?
Not at all. Huntingtower is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Huntingtower, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is usually the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Huntingtower, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
