From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open.

- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.

Advice
Expansion joint sealing in Lunanhead, done properly
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. If you are dealing with damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lunanhead is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Lunanhead: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. 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, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
FAQs: Lunanhead
Is Lunanhead too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Restenneth Business Park, near Lunanhead, within your area?
Yes. We cover Lunanhead and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Restenneth Business Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so broken or crumbling edges have to be repaired first. We flag it at the quote stage where we can see it.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
What else we do in Lunanhead
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Lunanhead. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Lunanhead?
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens so backing is set before sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Parks like Restenneth Business Park (to the south-west of Lunanhead) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
Questions to ask before you book

- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Quoting for work in Lunanhead
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Lunanhead
The 3 miles around Lunanhead take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Being in the east of Scotland, Lunanhead gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
For an estate such as Whitehills Hospital, 0.7 miles south-west of Lunanhead, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Schools like Forfar Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
