Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with photos.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kilkerran
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and sealant pulling off the joint face.

Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Kilkerran: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kilkerran is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Expansion joint sealing in Kilkerran: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Kilkerran counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The west of Scotland, where Kilkerran is, gets more rain than the east. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
Hospitals like Campbeltown Hospital (0.6 miles north-west of Kilkerran) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. On a site such as Hazelburn Business Park, 1.1 miles north-west of Kilkerran, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Kilkerran is in Argyll and Bute. Our applicators travel to Kilkerran for work on movement joints. We work across 124 places in Argyll and Bute, from busy centres to rural villages. Glasgow is covered too, around 60 miles from Kilkerran.

FAQs: Kilkerran
Is Hazelburn Business Park, near Kilkerran, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kilkerran, Hazelburn Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Campbeltown Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What happens if it’s left?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Around smaller places like Kilkerran, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
