About our expansion joint sealing in Tomintoul
Long runs of brick or block have movement joints built in, and they’re easy to miss until the sealant fails. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. 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. We work on cladding panel joints, brickwork movement joints and car park decks and ramps, and what we are called in for most is previous reseals laid over old sealant and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Tomintoul? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller Scottish places like Tomintoul, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Tomintoul. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Cost factors for movement joints
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors and a flexible sealant where the joint moves more.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs: Tomintoul
Which documents can you supply for work in Tomintoul?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Does a site in Tomintoul have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long will the joint resealing take?
It usually takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access. We will confirm when each area can be used again.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Tomintoul
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Car park joints leaking onto vehicles below
A joint near Tomintoul 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.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Tomintoul
The east of Scotland, where Tomintoul is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In and around Tomintoul, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
