Expansion joint sealing in Midmar, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing. Most enquiries involve layers of sealant in a movement joint and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Midmar, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For outside joints near Midmar, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Traffic, movement and joints around Midmar
Midmar is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For floors and slabs around Midmar, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in and long before edges start to break. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with photos.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Midmar, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. 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.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Midmar off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Midmar have to close for joint sealing?
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’ll plan from there.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Midmar before they leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Midmar?
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Business parks such as Kirkwood Business Park, 2.5 miles to the north-east of Midmar, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
