Expansion joint sealing in Lochluichart, done properly
Every structure moves a little, all the time: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Lochluichart. If you have arrises breaking up along floor joints and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Lochluichart, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Lochluichart is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
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.

Joints that move: notes for Lochluichart
Being in the west of Scotland, Lochluichart gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Around Lochluichart, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go. For floors and slabs around Lochluichart, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Resealing early limits the damage.
Lochluichart: questions and answers
What site paperwork comes with a job in Lochluichart?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Lochluichart off your patch?
Not at all. Lochluichart is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Lochluichart can form part of a wider programme.
Cost factors for movement joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochluichart
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Lochluichart, 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. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Lochluichart, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, 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.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
