What we’re called out for in Inverinan
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
A joint near Inverinan that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement, and tell you if edges need repairing first.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
FAQs: Inverinan
Must our site in Inverinan stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Inverinan too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped and the way they’re sealed is similar.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it typically takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Inverinan, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
