Traffic, movement and joints around New Pitsligo
Being in the east of Scotland, New Pitsligo gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around New Pitsligo, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Expansion joint sealing in New Pitsligo, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied. If you have torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, we can put it right, on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and car park decks and ramps alike. Whoever orders the work in New Pitsligo, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller Scottish places like New Pitsligo, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in New Pitsligo?
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Sites like Maud Hospital, 5.8 miles to the south-east of New Pitsligo, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Jobs near New Pitsligo are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We assess the joints on site or from photographs, 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Your questions answered
Must our site in New Pitsligo stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Maud Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, and phased work can be planned so parts of the car park stay in use.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Expect anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, with phasing where areas must stay open. We’ll confirm when each area can be used again.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Blockwork control joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
