When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Aberfeldy
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you have leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Aberfeldy is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Aberfeldy, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we’ll tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Keeping the area coned off until then avoids tyre marks and damage.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Questions we are asked in Aberfeldy
Do we have to stop operations in Aberfeldy while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Aberfeldy too far out for you?
No. Places such as Aberfeldy are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sound edges are essential. If they’re damaged, we’ll say so before any sealing so you’re not paying for a bead that won’t hold.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Aberfeldy
Being in the east of Scotland, Aberfeldy gets less rain than the west coast. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
On industrial estates such as Aberfeldy Industrial Estate, under half a mile north-east of Aberfeldy, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. For a school such as Breadalbane Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
Aberfeldy is about 20 miles west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross. Across the PH15 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Aberfeldy is one of 114 places in Perth and Kinross on our list for movement joints. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area (35 miles or so).
We take on movement joints across the PH15 postcode area. If your site is on Market Street, Burnside Lane and Burnside or close by, we can quote for movement joints.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Aberfeldy, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

What happens if it’s left?
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use without shutting the whole car park. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
