Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Muir of Ord, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take.
- 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints

Is Muir of Ord off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Indoor joints can typically carry on regardless.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Muir of Ord
Less than 3 miles from Muir of Ord there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. The west of Scotland, where Muir of Ord is, gets more rain than the east. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Another example is Tomich Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles south-east of Muir of Ord, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. For an occupier at a site such as Muir of Ord Industrial Estate (0.9 miles south of Muir of Ord), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Muir of Ord before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

What we are called out for in Muir of Ord
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
Sites like Ross Memorial Hospital (to the north of Muir of Ord) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
