Expansion joint sealing in Tormore
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water; the joint jams, its edges take the load and the arrises spall. Resealing at the first signs of failure is far cheaper than repairing the material either side. We work on car park decks and ramps, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water dripping through deck or ramp joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Tormore it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller Scottish places like Tormore, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Tormore
Tormore is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around Tormore, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

What we’re called out for in Tormore
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while de-icing salts and grit attack the seal. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
Around Tormore, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
What your quote should include

- Who will actually carry out the work
Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Tormore, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Common questions from Tormore clients
Must our site in Tormore stop work while the joints are done?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Tormore?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
What exactly is a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
