Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Add every elevation, deck and floor joint to your inspection round. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Expansion joint sealing in Westerwood
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. We seal and reseal movement joints in walls, panels, decks and floors on sites in Westerwood. If you have sealant pulling off the joint face and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Westerwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller Scottish places like Westerwood, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Westerwood. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.

- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

Can you work on car park ramps and decks?

What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
The edges have to be sound. Where they’ve broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship, and we’re fully insured for public liability. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Westerwood
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
