About our expansion joint sealing in Invermoriston
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled. We work on car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Invermoriston from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Invermoriston is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Invermoriston can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually 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. For work around Invermoriston, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. For buildings near Invermoriston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint

Invermoriston: questions and answers
Is Invermoriston too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Invermoriston is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a site in Invermoriston 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.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last and we will flag every length affected. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Invermoriston?
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Once a joint near Invermoriston opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
