About our expansion joint sealing in New Deer
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in New Deer. If you have spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover New Deer? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like New Deer: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around New Deer with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
FAQs: New Deer
Is New Deer too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a site in New Deer have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How long will the joint resealing take?
Allow anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common problems we fix in New Deer
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Large sites such as Maud Hospital, 2.5 miles to the east of New Deer, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Joints that move: notes for New Deer
New Deer is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
In and around New Deer, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
New Deer is about 13 miles south-west of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. Looking for expansion joint sealing in New Deer? We can help, as we do across Aberdeenshire. We work across 179 places in Aberdeenshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 25 miles away.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit, with backing rod setting the depth.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. We match the product to the traffic and the movement flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like New Deer, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
