From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Newlands of Culloden, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Expansion joint sealing in Newlands of Culloden
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control 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. Most enquiries from Newlands of Culloden start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Newlands of Culloden: 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What happens if it’s left?
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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.

Questions we’re asked in Newlands of Culloden
Can you work at a site such as Smithton Industrial Estate, by Newlands of Culloden?
Yes, sites like Smithton Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Newlands of Culloden. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Newlands of Culloden too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Joints that move: notes for Newlands of Culloden

Hospital campuses such as Raigmore Hospital (to the west of Newlands of Culloden) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. For an occupier at a site such as Smithton Industrial Estate, which lies west of Newlands of Culloden, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.
