Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Pool of Muckhart
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal comes out, backing goes in and a sealant with the right movement class is applied, primed where the manufacturer specifies. Most enquiries involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, across podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and precast concrete panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Pool of Muckhart, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Pool of Muckhart, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why deal with it now?
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Pool of Muckhart. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Cost factors for movement joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
