About our expansion joint sealing in Oldmeldrum
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels, so the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement matters. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you are dealing with rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Oldmeldrum, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Oldmeldrum is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Questions we’re asked in Oldmeldrum
Is Oldmeldrum 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 photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like House Of Daviot Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.

Other services in Oldmeldrum
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors.
What affects the price in Oldmeldrum
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we will say so before quoting. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Oldmeldrum, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
