What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
About our expansion joint sealing in Nether Dallachy
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. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you’re dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and movement joints with split or torn sealant, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Nether Dallachy, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Nether Dallachy, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Nether Dallachy, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint normally shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
Joints that move: notes for Nether Dallachy
Nether Dallachy sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being in the east of Scotland, Nether Dallachy gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
A healthcare site such as Seafield Hospital (to the east of Nether Dallachy) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For floors and slabs around Nether Dallachy, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Questions about Nether Dallachy
Can being near the sea in Nether Dallachy affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Seafield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we will flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails inside the 12 months, let us know.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Nether Dallachy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. 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.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
