From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Montgomerieston. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

About our expansion joint sealing in Montgomerieston

The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. Most enquiries involve expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Montgomerieston
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed and we will tell you honestly. For buildings near Montgomerieston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

Joints that move: notes for Montgomerieston
Montgomerieston lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Montgomerieston gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Schools like Ayr Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. If you manage units on an estate such as Newton Trading Estate, which lies north-east of Montgomerieston, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
Montgomerieston is about 1 mile north-west of Ayr, in South Ayrshire. We send applicators to Montgomerieston for movement joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Biggart Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Newton Trading Estate, near Montgomerieston?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Montgomerieston, Newton Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
A wet joint can’t be sealed properly. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
How do we ask for 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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed usually tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
When to call us in Montgomerieston
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
At places like Heathfield Retail Park (2 miles north-east of Montgomerieston), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
