Expansion joint sealing in Scourie More
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. Site teams most often ask us about chipped joint edges on forklift routes and sealant peeling off one face of the joint, across cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Scourie More it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Scourie More, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Water coming through deck joints is the usual first sign. The old seal comes out, the edges are prepared and the joint resealed flagging broken edges along the way.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast and concrete panel joints move daily. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.

- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.

Common questions from Scourie More clients
Is a smaller place like Scourie More outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can being near the sea in Scourie More affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. We diagnose which one it is before resealing.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Scourie More is within about 1 mile of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being in the west of Scotland, Scourie More gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
In and around Scourie More, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Around Scourie More, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
