How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. We use a sealant rated for the movement, typically low-modulus.
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode

FAQs: Meigle
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Meigle?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Meigle 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.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Movement capability matters most as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Joints that move: notes for Meigle
Meigle is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
A joint near Meigle that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The arrises crack and break away under the load, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Meigle, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, 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.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints

Related advice
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Meigle
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, normally means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. The same product in the same joint tends to fail again.
Look out for the following:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
In and around Meigle, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
