How we handle expansion joint sealing in Reraig
Width, depth and product all have to work together. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. Whoever orders the work in Reraig, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller Scottish places like Reraig, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.

Reraig: questions and answers
Is Reraig too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Reraig are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Our building in Reraig is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
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. We confirm the timescale with the quote, including any phasing.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Concrete edges can be weak or carry release agents that stop adhesion. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Reraig lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Reraig is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For floors and slabs around Reraig, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Office parks like Lochalsh Business Park, 1.5 miles east of Reraig, have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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 typically 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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
