About our expansion joint sealing in Biggar
Few joints take as much punishment as those in a car park. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement. We work on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are arrises breaking up along floor joints and brittle, chalky sealant on external joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Biggar? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In smaller places such as Biggar, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Biggar
Biggar has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. Being in the east of Scotland, Biggar gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Across sites such as Lindsaylands Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Biggar, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. For buildings at a park such as Biggar Business Park (under half a mile south of Biggar), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Schools like Biggar High School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Biggar is about 14 miles south-east of Carluke, in South Lanarkshire. Anywhere in ML12, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Biggar. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at the joints, their width and how they’ve failed.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Vertical movement joints in brick and block walls let the masonry grow and shrink. They take a low-modulus sealant with a movement class to suit laid over backing rod at the correct depth.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints

Is Biggar too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
