Expansion joint sealing in Mosstodloch
If you need expansion joint sealing in Mosstodloch, start with photos and joint lengths. We will come and look where photographs don’t show enough, then send a fixed quote that names the sealant. You can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to talk the joints through. We work on blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and debris jammed in movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Mosstodloch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Mosstodloch, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mosstodloch: questions and answers

Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Would you work within a site like Seafield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is Mosstodloch in your area?

Can you work on car park ramps and decks?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement with bays phased so the car park keeps operating.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Mosstodloch
Mosstodloch is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For a school such as Milne's High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

What the job involves on each surface
Car park decks and ramps
Car park joints are some of the hardest-working joints in any building. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in with bays done in phases so the car park keeps running.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs near Mosstodloch 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.
- 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 tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
When to call us in Mosstodloch
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
A healthcare site such as Seafield Hospital (5.9 miles north-east of Mosstodloch) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What site paperwork they can supply
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
