How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Expansion joint sealing in Lumphanan, done properly
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on car park decks and ramps, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and sealant pulling off the joint face.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Lumphanan. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, 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.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
When to call us in Lumphanan
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears, which is why depth control matters.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
In and around Lumphanan, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Questions about Lumphanan
Do we have to stop operations in Lumphanan while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Kincardine O'Neil Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. Where they’ve broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first, so the new seal has something to grip.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Leave it or put it right?
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we will tell you honestly. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
