When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kirkton of Skene
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. Site teams most often ask us about car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kirkton of Skene from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Kirkton of Skene, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Expansion joint sealing in Kirkton of Skene: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Kirkton of Skene gets less rain than the west coast. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage. Less than 3 miles from Kirkton of Skene there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Schools such as Westhill Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Warehouse floors on estates like Westhill Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Kirkton of Skene) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Another example is Arnhall Business Park, 2 miles to the south-east of Kirkton of Skene, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

What else we do in Kirkton of Skene
Why act early in Kirkton of Skene
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around smaller places like Kirkton of Skene, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

FAQs: Kirkton of Skene
Is Kirkton of Skene too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kirkton of Skene is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Westhill Industrial Estate, by Kirkton of Skene?
Yes, sites like Westhill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kirkton of Skene. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Kirkton of Skene with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
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 tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
