Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Strathore
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side, so failed seals soon lead to leaks onto the level below and broken edges. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in and the work can be phased so parts of the car park stay open. If you have expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and layers of sealant in a movement joint, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Strathore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Common questions from Strathore clients
Would you work within a site like Whyteman's Brae Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Southfield Industrial Estate, near Strathore, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Strathore and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Southfield Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
The way it has failed usually tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It typically takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We confirm the timescale with the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you work in Strathore?
Yes. We take on work across Strathore, and the same phone number covers every area.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Strathore
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Strathore. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.

What else we do in Strathore
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal floor movement joints
Floor joints include saw-cut joints and construction joints. Trafficked floor joints often get a semi-rigid filler, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Podium joints
On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
