When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Expansion joint sealing in Lintmill
We cover the full range of movement joints: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. If you have debris jammed in movement joints and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Lintmill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Lintmill, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lintmill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Warehouse floors and decks around Lintmill
Lintmill lies within about 2 miles of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The east of Scotland, where Lintmill is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Around Lintmill, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. For an estate such as Campbell Hospital (4.2 miles east of Lintmill), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Lintmill is about 6 miles east of Buckie, in Moray. If you are looking for expansion joint sealing in Lintmill, we can help. Lintmill is one of 59 places in Moray on our list. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 44 miles away.

Your questions answered
Is Lintmill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Our building in Lintmill is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up, so a reseal turns into an edge repair as well. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lintmill before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
