Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Kemnay
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap; 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, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you have expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Kemnay, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Kemnay, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Kemnay: questions and answers
Does a site in Kemnay have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Kemnay too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Kemnay are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with photos.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
