Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kirkton of Durris. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around smaller places like Kirkton of Durris, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we’re called out for in Kirkton of Durris
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, usually means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Around Kirkton of Durris, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
