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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Auchengray, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions we are asked in Auchengray
Must our site in Auchengray stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Auchengray?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. In everyday use the two names are often swapped, and the sealing method is much the same.
Can you seal car park deck joints?
Yes. Tell us how the car park is used and which areas must stay open, and we’ll plan the phasing around it.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Auchengray
Auchengray is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

What affects the price in Auchengray

Why it’s worth doing now in Auchengray
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. Leaking joints need sealing now, as damage continues meanwhile. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. For buildings near Auchengray, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What we’re called out for in Auchengray
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
Around Auchengray, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
