Common questions from Rattray clients
Would you work within a site like Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Rattray off your patch?
Not at all. Rattray is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Expansion joint sealing in Rattray, done properly
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. Once it fails, water, grit and debris get in; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you have rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Rattray, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Rattray: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Traffic, movement and joints around Rattray
Rattray is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
On industrial estates such as Welton Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south of Rattray, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. A healthcare site such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital (0.7 miles south-west of Rattray) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In a school such as Blairgowrie High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. 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 a building near Rattray, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
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.
