Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Inverarity, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and car park joints leaking onto vehicles below.

Expansion joint sealing around Inverarity: what changes locally
Inverarity is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around Inverarity, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. For an estate such as Forfar Infirmary, 4.2 miles to the north of Inverarity, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Inverarity is about 4 miles south of Forfar, in Angus. Anywhere in DD8, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Inverarity is one of 65 places we cover in Angus. We also cover Dundee, some 8 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: DD8 for movement joints. We also cover Monikie (5 miles south-east), Wellbank (5 miles south), Bucklerheads (5 miles south), Kingennie (5 miles south) and Newbigging (6 miles south-east) for movement joints. Bigger towns within reach include Arbroath (12 miles east), Forfar (4 miles north), Monifieth (8 miles south), Carnoustie (9 miles south-east), Kirriemuir (7 miles north-west) and Brechin (14 miles north-east).

Other landmarks nearby include Forfar Infirmary (4.2 miles north) and Forfar Castle (4.1 miles north). The countryside around Inverarity includes Gallow Hill and Loch of Forfar.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Inverarity before they leak.

Questions we are asked in Inverarity
Do we have to stop operations in Inverarity while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Forfar Infirmary?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
