Expansion joint sealing around Skye of Curr: how the place shapes the job

How a job runs

- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The arrises crack and break away under the load and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
FAQs: Skye of Curr
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ian Charles Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Skye of Curr too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
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.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not damage caused afterwards.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again flagging broken edges along the way.
