Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment

About our expansion joint sealing in Stoer
Joint design counts for as much as the sealant itself. Joint width must suit the movement and the movement class of the sealant. For wider joints, many sealant makers recommend a width-to-depth ratio, often around 2:1 and the bead bonds to the sides, never the back. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and joints where the bead has lost adhesion, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stoer tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For outside joints near Stoer, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. For a building near Stoer, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Related advice
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Stoer
Stoer 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 a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being in the west of Scotland, Stoer gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
For floors and slabs around Stoer, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Once a joint near Stoer opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Stoer is about 38 miles east of Stornoway, in Highland. Commercial clients in Stoer use us for work on movement joints. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common questions from Stoer clients
Is Stoer too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in Stoer is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Quoting for work in Stoer
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. For buildings near Stoer, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
