FAQs: Pinwherry
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Pinwherry?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is a smaller place like Pinwherry outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
It usually takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The way it has failed typically tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Pinwherry, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Pinwherry?
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way unless width and product are reviewed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
Around Pinwherry, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Pinwherry before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
