Expansion joint sealing in Blair Atholl, done properly
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Failed sealant here lets rain into the wall and can leave the joint full of debris. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled with primer where the maker calls for it. Site teams most often ask us about car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades, across cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Blair Atholl, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Sealing early protects the edges.
Questions about Blair Atholl
Is Blair Atholl too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do we have to stop operations in Blair Atholl while the joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane, and the specification has the final say.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is movement joint sealing guaranteed?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
