Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. Where it helps, we quote both options. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Tom nan Ragh. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Traffic, movement and joints around Tom nan Ragh
Tom nan Ragh lies within about 1 mile of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being in the west of Scotland, Tom nan Ragh gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
Around Tom nan Ragh, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tom nan Ragh is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Questions we are asked in Tom nan Ragh
Our building in Tom nan Ragh is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Tom nan Ragh outside your area?
No. Places such as Tom nan Ragh are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Tom nan Ragh?
With no backing rod or bond-breaker in place, sealant grips the base of the joint too. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
Sites like Cowal Community Hospital, 2.8 miles south-east of Tom nan Ragh, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Quoting for work in Tom nan Ragh
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
