Traffic, movement and joints around Tomatin
Tomatin is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
A joint near Tomatin that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Tomatin is about 13 miles south-east of Inverness, in Highland. Looking for expansion joint sealing in Tomatin? We can help, as we do across Highland. Tomatin is one of 256 places we cover in Highland. Our Aberdeen page has more on work in that area.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Tomatin
We cover the full range of movement joints: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant peeling off one face of the joint and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Tomatin it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For outside joints near Tomatin, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered
Is Tomatin too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Tomatin?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach and we’ll tell you honestly. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Tomatin before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Tomatin?
On trafficked joints, wheels and salts do the damage. Wheel loads stress the sealant and the arrises, while grit and salts work into any gap. A sealant that isn’t trafficable won’t last there.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
In and around Tomatin, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Tomatin. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Check joints after long freezing spells
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Keep the handover details, product and date with your O&M records, so the next reseal starts with the facts.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
