How we handle expansion joint sealing in Scone
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. Most enquiries involve joints where the bead has lost adhesion and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Scone first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Scone: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scone 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.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close

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.
Do you work in Scone?

Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When to call us in Scone
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
Look out for the following:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Hospital campuses such as Murray Royal Hospital, 1.4 miles to the south of Scone, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Quoting for work in Scone
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The type of building and who uses it

- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal, and tell you if the problem looks like the waterproofing below.

What else we do in Scone
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint seal doesn’t mean the slab, panel or wall needs replacing. If the material either side is sound, a properly prepared reseal restores the joint. If the edges have broken up, we’ll tell you they need repairing first. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
