Expansion joint sealing for Lonemore sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Where we can, we combine work around Lonemore with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Expansion joint sealing in Lonemore, done properly
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. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. Most enquiries involve sealant peeling off one face of the joint and layers of sealant in a movement joint, across precast concrete panel joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lonemore tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Lonemore, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lonemore
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Lonemore, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Lonemore
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lonemore. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Lonemore is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For floors and slabs around Lonemore, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Lonemore
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What we are called out for in Lonemore
Weathering wears down sealant on exposed elevations and decks. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
For a school such as Gairloch High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their public liability cover
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Lonemore: questions and answers
Is Lonemore too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to stop operations in Lonemore while the joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
