Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Perth
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip so edge repair has to come before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
Across sites such as Inveralmond Business Centre, 1.4 miles north-west of Perth, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their public liability cover
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Perth
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we are called in for most is joints packed with grit and debris and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Perth first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Schools, health centres and council buildings in towns like Perth have long runs of brick and panel movement joints. Resealing them before water gets in protects the wall behind.
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 will come back to it.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Perth Royal Infirmary somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will our site in Perth have to close for joint sealing?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Other services in Perth
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Several buildings in and around Perth can be done on one programme. Give us access times for each.
- 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.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around

Surface by surface
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.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Brick and block edges need careful preparation. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Traffic, movement and joints around Perth
The east of Scotland, where Perth is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges. The 3 miles around Perth take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Schools like Perth High School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. At a retail site such as St Catherine's Retail Park, under half a mile east of Perth, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day.
