Expansion joint sealing in Newtonhill, done properly
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Most enquiries involve arrises breaking up along floor joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Newtonhill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Newtonhill, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Newtonhill with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- 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.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it, then seal and tool the joint.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.

We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What we’re called out for in Newtonhill
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Debris jammed in movement joints
For a store at a site such as Portlethen Retail Park, which lies north of Newtonhill, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Newtonhill
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Newtonhill. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being in the east of Scotland, Newtonhill gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
In a school such as Portlethen Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Hospital campuses such as Kincardine Community Hospital (5.2 miles south-west of Newtonhill) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
