After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tullibardine
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors for buildings in Tullibardine. If you have damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tullibardine?

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Tullibardine are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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.
- 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.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Car park decks and ramps
Failed deck joints often show as leaks on the level below. We strip the old seal, prepare the edges and seal again, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Tullibardine, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Expansion joint sealing in Tullibardine: the local picture
The east of Scotland, where Tullibardine is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Hospital campuses such as St Margaret's Hospital (to the south-east of Tullibardine) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Schools like Community School of Auchterarder often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Tullibardine: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Margaret's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do we have to stop operations in Tullibardine while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
How long does movement joint sealing take?
Allow a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Timings are set out in the quote along with the phasing plan.
Do you work in Tullibardine?
Yes. Tullibardine is in our area. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing so the same failure isn’t repeated.
