About our expansion joint sealing in Laggan
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. The enquiries we see most involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Laggan? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller Scottish places like Laggan, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Laggan. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Is Laggan off your patch?
Not at all. Laggan is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Laggan?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Quoting for work in Laggan
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Common problems we fix in Laggan
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
Once a joint near Laggan opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.
Before you book anyone

- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
