Questions we’re asked in Newtyle
Do we have to stop operations in Newtyle while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Newtyle outside your area?
No. Places such as Newtyle are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Expansion joint sealing in Newtyle
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. If you are dealing with sealant peeling off one face of the joint and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, we can help, on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike.

Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Newtyle
Newtyle is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Hospital campuses such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (to the south-east of Newtyle) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

When to call us in Newtyle
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
For floors and slabs around Newtyle, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Newtyle. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. We’ll flag where edges need repair before sealing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Newtyle before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
