Expansion joint sealing in Inverinate, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, blockwork control joints and brickwork movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant over old, now failing and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Inverinate tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Inverinate, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s normally not far behind. Where it helps, we quote both options. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Inverinate. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Inverinate
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Inverinate. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Inverinate is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
In and around Inverinate, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. A joint near Inverinate that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Inverinate is in Highland. Across the IV40 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Inverinate is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for movement joints.
Commercial sites across IV40 are covered for movement joints. We also cover Shiel Bridge (2 miles south), Dornie (4 miles north-west), Bundalloch (5 miles north-west), Carndu (5 miles north-west) and Glen More (6 miles west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Surface by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement.
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Common questions from Inverinate clients
Must our site in Inverinate 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’ll plan from there.
Is a smaller place like Inverinate outside your area?
No. Places such as Inverinate are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
