Expansion joint sealing in Mid Yell
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Expansion joint sealing in Mid Yell, done properly
If you need expansion joint sealing in Mid Yell, start with photos and joint lengths. We’ll come and look where photos don’t show enough before issuing a fixed quote. To discuss the joints first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Most enquiries involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and sealant pulling off the joint face, across cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Mid Yell. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Mid Yell
Mid Yell sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being on an island, Mid Yell means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Joint widths, lengths and the traffic over them help us bring the right fillers and sealants.
Around Mid Yell, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. In a school such as Mid Yell Junior High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

FAQs: Mid Yell
Do you work on the island where Mid Yell is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Mid Yell included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do we have to stop operations in Mid Yell 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. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Mid Yell is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
