Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Expansion joint sealing in Knockentiber
We have been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you have water dripping through deck or ramp joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can put it right, on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and blockwork control joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Knockentiber, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Knockentiber: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work on car park ramps and decks?

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Knockentiber?
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
Look out for the following:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
A healthcare site such as University Hospital Crosshouse (0.6 miles south-east of Knockentiber) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.

Why act early in Knockentiber
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind, and a second visit means paying for access again. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Knockentiber, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
