What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Muthill
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on car park decks and ramps, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Most enquiries from Muthill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Muthill, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Muthill
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes and it often shows on rushed work.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Sites like Crieff Community Hospital (to the north of Muthill) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
FAQs: Muthill
Does your area include sites such as Crioch Business Centre, near Muthill?
Yes. We cover Muthill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Crioch Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Crieff Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Muthill. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
