Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Port na Craig
Port na Craig is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges. The 3 miles around Port na Craig take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
A healthcare site such as Pitlochry Community Hospital (to the north of Port na Craig) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Another example is Aldour Industrial Estate, which lies east of Port na Craig, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Our process
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 typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Port na Craig is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Move anything stored against the joints

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Port na Craig?
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 so backing is set before sealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Schools such as Croftinloan School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Quoting for work in Port na Craig
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions we’re asked in Port na Craig
Will you take on work at estates like Fonab Business Park, close to Port na Craig?
Yes, sites like Fonab Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Port na Craig. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Pitlochry Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. As a guide, it usually 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.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
