Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.
Expansion joint sealing in St Monance, done properly
We have 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’re 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 blockwork control joints, podiums and floor movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes. Most enquiries from St Monance start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like St Monance: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in St Monance
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
For floors and slabs around St Monance, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Floors, slabs and movement joints in St Monance
St Monance sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. St Monance is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
On a site such as Bass Rock Business Park, under half a mile to the north of St Monance, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.

Why act early in St Monance
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Common questions from St Monance clients
Is a smaller place like St Monance outside your area?
Not at all. St Monance is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Bass Rock Business Park, near St Monance?
Yes. We cover St Monance and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bass Rock Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed and broken edges are flagged before sealing.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Surface by 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, then seal and tool the joint.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. We use a sealant classed for the movement, laid over backing to depth.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear.

Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.

- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
