Common questions from Kinlochewe clients
Is Kinlochewe too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kinlochewe are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which documents can you supply for work in Kinlochewe?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
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.
About our expansion joint sealing in Kinlochewe
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 will confirm the choice in the quote. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and movement joints with split or torn sealant. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kinlochewe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Kinlochewe 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kinlochewe before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Common problems we fix in Kinlochewe
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
For floors and slabs around Kinlochewe, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. 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.
