Questions about Loans of Tullich
Will you take on work at estates like Cadboll Industrial Estate, close to Loans of Tullich?
Yes. We cover Loans of Tullich and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Cadboll Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Loans of Tullich is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
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.
Do you work in Loans of Tullich?
Yes. We take on work across Loans of Tullich.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- 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)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

- Quantities, in metres or numbers

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Expansion joint sealing in Loans of Tullich: the local picture
Loans of Tullich lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The east of Scotland, where Loans of Tullich is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
