How we handle expansion joint sealing in An Luirg
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed, and the sealant in them keeps water and debris out. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors for buildings in An Luirg. If you have sealant peeling off one face of the joint and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in An Luirg it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller places such as An Luirg, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What we’re called out for in An Luirg
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For floors and slabs around An Luirg, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their public liability cover
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

Cost factors for movement joints
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around An Luirg, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
