Our expansion joint sealing service in North Lanarkshire

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. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks and layers of sealant in a movement joint.

In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.

We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability.
Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.

Estates, car parks and floors in North Lanarkshire

Industrial estates, business parks and retail parks around Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge and elsewhere in North Lanarkshire typically have floor and slab joints under daily traffic. Each joint needs a product suited to what runs over it and how much it moves.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, North Lanarkshire among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can.

Motherwell: Across sites such as Orbiston Business Park, which lies south of Motherwell, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. If you manage units on an estate such as Braidhurst Industrial Estate (0.7 miles west of Motherwell), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Keeping the joints sound

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up

Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.

Unsupported floor joint edges spall under forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Damaged edges make the floor rough and wear wheels faster, and the damage spreads along the joint. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.

What affects the price in North Lanarkshire

These are the things that shape the price:

Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product specified
Whether the work must be split into stages
Location, for remote and island sites

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What to include in your enquiry

We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:

Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The type of building and who uses it
Specification clauses that apply
Any dates the work must fit around

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

How the job changes by surface

Podium joints

On podiums, the joint can belong to a larger waterproofing detail. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.

Brickwork and blockwork joints

Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. Faces are prepared and primed wherever the sealant maker calls for it before the bead goes in.

FAQs: North Lanarkshire

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?

The edges have to be sound. If they’re damaged, we will say so before any sealing, so the new seal has something to grip.

Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?

Put simply, it’s a planned break in a wall, slab or deck so the materials can move. Expansion joint is a name often used for the same thing.

Why do our movement joints keep failing?

The way it has failed typically tells us why: a split through the middle points to over-stretching, while peeling from one face points to preparation or primer. Sometimes the edge material itself has failed.

How do we ask for a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

What sealant do you use in movement joints?

We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Hybrid or MS polymer products suit some mixed-material joints.
