Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Keith
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Keith it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Keith is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Related advice
Keith: questions and answers
Will our site in Keith have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is Keith 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. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Cold, damp or frosty mornings can stop work outside so external dates keep some flexibility.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open and we’ll plan around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Common problems we fix in Keith
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
For a school such as Keith Grammar School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
