Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Tealing
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant peeling off one face of the joint and water dripping through deck or ramp joints.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tealing is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. 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.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

The east of Scotland, where Tealing is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

FAQs: Tealing
Is Tealing off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Claverhouse Industrial Park, close to Tealing?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tealing, Claverhouse Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. That water often carries de-icing salts with it, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Sealing the joint promptly stops it at source.
When to call us in Tealing
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. In time the bead chalks, stiffens and cracks and opens at the next temperature swing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
If you manage units on an estate such as Claverhouse Industrial Park, 3 miles south of Tealing, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
