Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Murray Royal Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Kinfauns too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, with phasing where areas must stay open. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
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.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kinfauns
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Kinfauns. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals laid over old sealant and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kinfauns from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For outside joints near Kinfauns, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, normally low-modulus laid over backing rod at the correct depth.

Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. For buildings near Kinfauns, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it and decks and floors suffer most. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Kinfauns, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Traffic, movement and joints around Kinfauns
Kinfauns is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed.
