What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around smaller places like Kennethmont, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kennethmont
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors. The enquiries we see most involve arrises breaking up along floor joints and debris jammed in movement joints, across cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kennethmont from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For outside joints near Kennethmont, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Kennethmont
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Look out for the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
For an estate such as Insch War Memorial Hospital (4.9 miles east of Kennethmont), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.

- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Insch War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Kennethmont too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately.
