To discuss the joints first, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
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. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kaimend is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- 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.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.

Questions about Kaimend
Must our site in Kaimend 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 Kaimend too far out for you?
Not at all. Kaimend is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions. Indoor joints can usually carry on regardless.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks typically need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.

What else we do in Kaimend
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
