When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure

Expansion joint sealing in Markethill
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load. If the arrises are already broken, we’ll say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and arrises breaking up along floor joints.

For outside joints near Markethill, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Where we can, we combine work around Markethill with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site

Your questions answered
Is Markethill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
Movement capability matters most, classified under BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. We use a sealant designed for wheel loads and the expected movement.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
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, with primer where specified.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Long brick and block elevations have movement joints at intervals. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit.
What affects the price in Markethill
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What else we do in Markethill
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, phone 01277 525 020 or email us with photos.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. That water often carries de-icing salts with it. Resealing early limits the damage.
