Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Murthly are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

About our expansion joint sealing in Murthly
If you need expansion joint sealing in Murthly, start with photos and joint lengths. Send them through our quote form, and we’ll arrange a site visit if needed before issuing a fixed quote. You can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling off the joint face and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Murthly? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For outside joints near Murthly, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Surface by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with photos.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
FAQs: Murthly
Do we have to stop operations in Murthly while the joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Murthly too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Murthly are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
The way it has failed normally tells us why: tearing down the centre means too much movement, and lifting off one side means poor adhesion. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
What else we do in Murthly
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. We agree phasing with you before work starts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
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 we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
