When to call us in Springfield
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
In a school such as Bell Baxter High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

What else we do in Springfield
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Springfield can form part of a wider programme across Fife.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Springfield
Springfield is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
On industrial estates such as Cupar Muir Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Springfield, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Sites like Stratheden Hospital (0.7 miles north-east of Springfield) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Springfield is about 8 miles north-east of Glenrothes, in Fife. Commercial clients in Springfield can call on us for movement joints, as part of our coverage of Fife. Across Fife, 132 places are covered, including Springfield. There’s a separate page for Dundee, about 13 miles away.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Springfield with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Related advice
Why act early in Springfield
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Springfield. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Public liability insurance in place
- One contact handling all your sites
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
Take a look at what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Forklift and pallet-truck wheels break unsupported joint edges. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
FAQs: Springfield
Does your area include sites such as Cupar Muir Industrial Estate, near Springfield?
Yes, sites like Cupar Muir Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Springfield. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Stratheden Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can a joint be sealed if the edges are broken?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing, and we’ll point out where that’s the case. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.

Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
The terms overlap a great deal. A movement joint allows for expansion, contraction, shrinkage and loading.
