About our expansion joint sealing in Scarinish
We’ve been sealing expansion and movement joints for over 20 years, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting into the wall through a failed joint and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Whoever orders the work in Scarinish, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Scarinish, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Scarinish before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. We reseal the joint where sealant is the specified fix, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.
Cost factors for movement joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Common questions from Scarinish clients
Must our site in Scarinish stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Scarinish too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Allow a day or so for a modest run of joints, and longer where decks, ramps or floors are done in phases. We confirm the timescale with the quote along with the phasing plan.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Warehouse floors and decks around Scarinish
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Scarinish. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being in the west of Scotland, Scarinish gets more rain than eastern areas. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
Around Scarinish, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A joint near Scarinish that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scarinish is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
