About our expansion joint sealing in Lewiston
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 name it in the quote. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Whoever orders the work in Lewiston, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Lewiston, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to call us in Lewiston
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
In and around Lewiston, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
What your quote should include

Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Lewiston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will our site in Lewiston have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. Timings are set out in the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
The general name is movement joint, and expansion joint is one common type. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably, and the sealing method is much the same.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lewiston
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. We will flag where edges need repair before sealing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Lewiston, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Lewiston
Lewiston is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
Schools such as Glen Urquhart High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Lewiston is about 13 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. If you’re looking for expansion joint sealing in Lewiston, we can help, as we do across Highland. Lewiston is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
Postcode districts covered here: IV63. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Dal of Borlum, Carn Glas and Carriers Croft. Nearby places we also cover include Drumnadrochit (1 mile north), Torness (4 miles east), Gorthleck (6 miles south), Dores (7 miles north-east) and Kiltarlity (8 miles north) for movement joints. Bigger towns within reach include Inverness (13 miles north-east), Merkinch (14 miles north-east), Hilton (13 miles north-east), Crown (14 miles north-east), Millburn (14 miles north-east) and Muir of Ord (13 miles north). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
Near you in Lewiston
Around Lewiston, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Drumnadrochit Hotel and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Urquhart Castle (1.3 miles east) and Urquhart Castle Visitor Centre (1.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Loch Ness.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Lewiston, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
