Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Expansion joint sealing in Inverarnan
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. Most enquiries involve movement joints with split or torn sealant and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Inverarnan from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Inverarnan, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Inverarnan can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Traffic, movement and joints around Inverarnan
Being in the west of Scotland, Inverarnan gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
A joint near Inverarnan that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. For floors and slabs around Inverarnan, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Inverarnan
Must our site in Inverarnan stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is Inverarnan too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
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 the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
