Expansion joint sealing in Pollok, done properly
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’ll say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. If you’re dealing with layers of sealant in a movement joint and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pollok from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. We work in phases with a product suited to the traffic, so operations carry on.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Questions we are asked in Pollok
Is a hospital such as Leverndale Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does a site in Pollok have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you work in Pollok?
Yes. Pollok is in our area and the rest of Glasgow, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For premises in Pollok, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Pollok
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Pollok
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
For a centre such as Silverburn Shopping Centre, 0.5 miles east of Pollok, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.
