Common questions from Lochcarron clients
Does the sea air around Lochcarron change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do we have to stop operations in Lochcarron while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Quoting for work in Lochcarron
These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Lochcarron
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lochcarron. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochcarron gets more rain than eastern areas. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
Around Lochcarron, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. In a school such as Lochcarron School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
