What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Expansion joint sealing in Kentallen, done properly
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic and we name it in the quote. We work on blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we are asked to look at most are debris jammed in movement joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kentallen is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Kentallen, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Kentallen
Kentallen sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Kentallen gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
Around Kentallen, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Estates like North Ballachulish Industrial Estate (2.6 miles north-east of Kentallen) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

Kentallen: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, by Kentallen?
Yes, sites like North Ballachulish Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kentallen. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Kentallen affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure, so external work waits for suitable conditions. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing.
Is Kentallen in your area?
Yes. Kentallen is in our area. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks normally need a polyurethane.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Kentallen, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Towns and villages near Kentallen
Also in Kentallen
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.

- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
