Warehouse floors and decks around Torlundy
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Torlundy. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. The west of Scotland, where Torlundy is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For an estate such as Belford Hospital, which lies south-west of Torlundy, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Blar Mhor Industrial Estate (1.6 miles west of Torlundy): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. If you manage units on an estate such as Carr's Corner Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Torlundy, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
Torlundy is in Highland. Across the PH33 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Torlundy among them. Sites around Glasgow have their own page, about 75 miles away.
Commercial sites across PH33 are covered for movement joints.

Expansion joint sealing in Torlundy
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. Site teams most often ask us about sealant peeling off one face of the joint and rain penetration at brick or block movement joints, across blockwork control joints, brickwork movement joints and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Torlundy? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller places such as Torlundy, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Cost factors for movement joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How the job changes by surface
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. A trafficable sealant suited to the movement goes in.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Torlundy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex and soon lets go. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. For buildings near Torlundy, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Common questions from Torlundy clients
Is Torlundy off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Belford Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What sealant do you use in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Facades often take a low-modulus silicone; floors and decks usually need a polyurethane unless the specification names something else.
