Expansion joint sealing near Kinlochard
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Kinlochard with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Expansion joint sealing in Kinlochard
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joints packed with grit and debris and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Kinlochard it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Kinlochard is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

In and around Kinlochard, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Once a joint near Kinlochard opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Your questions answered
Is Kinlochard too far out for you?
Not at all. Kinlochard is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which documents can you supply for work in Kinlochard?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long will the joint resealing take?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.
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.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kinlochard
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Kinlochard can form part of a wider programme.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- 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
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
