How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Roanheads with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.

Advice
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Roanheads
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load, 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 phased work keeps areas in use. We work on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is water dripping through deck or ramp joints and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Roanheads, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Roanheads: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Joints that move: notes for Roanheads
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Roanheads. 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. Less than 3 miles from Roanheads there are two named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Another example is Dales Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles south-west of Roanheads, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. On industrial estates such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate, which lies west of Roanheads, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Large sites such as Ugie Hospital (to the north-west of Roanheads) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Roanheads is about 1 mile east of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. Any commercial site in Roanheads is covered. Roanheads is one of 179 places in Aberdeenshire on our list. Aberdeen is covered too, around 28 miles from Roanheads.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
Why deal with it now?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. Where it helps, we quote both options. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. We choose a sealant that grips both faces, with primer where specified.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Questions about Roanheads
Is a smaller place like Roanheads outside your area?
Not at all. Roanheads is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Roanheads affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
It depends on how the sealant has let go: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Broken edges are a third possibility.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work, so we plan with the forecast in mind.
