About our expansion joint sealing in Newton
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. The enquiries we see most involve rain penetration at brick or block movement joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints, on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Newton, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Newton, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Work we carry out in Moray comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in 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. For a building near Newton, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A torn seal left alone normally gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Resealing early keeps the work to sealant. 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.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. We pick the product for the materials and the movement, and confirm it in the quote.

Expansion joint sealing in Newton: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Newton gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For a centre such as St Giles Centre, 3 miles to the east of Newton, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first. A healthcare site such as Dr Gray's Hospital, 2.5 miles east of Newton, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
Newton is about 3 miles west of Elgin, in Moray. Any commercial site in Newton is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 59 places across Moray fall within our area, including Newton. For work in that direction, see our Aberdeen page, about 59 miles away.

Newton: questions and answers
Must our site in Newton 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 hospital such as Dr Gray's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Typically the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
