Joints that move: notes for Tormore
Tormore 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 Tormore that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Tormore
For sites in Tormore and across Highland, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on construction joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are flexible sealant torn out by wheels and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tormore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For outside joints near Tormore, 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. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tormore
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Tormore, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Tormore
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
Around Tormore, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Questions to ask before you book

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 we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tormore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Tormore: questions and answers
Is Tormore too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Tormore?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
