Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with photos.
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. Resealing early limits the damage.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Rosemarkie
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you’re dealing with weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Rosemarkie, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Rosemarkie is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Traffic, movement and joints around Rosemarkie
Rosemarkie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. The west of Scotland, where Rosemarkie is, gets more rain than the east. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
A joint near Rosemarkie that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Common problems we fix in Rosemarkie
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Around Rosemarkie, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Rosemarkie, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
