About our expansion joint sealing in Boreland
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. Movement joints are where that movement is absorbed and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors. We work on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints split through the centre of the bead and water getting into the wall through a failed joint. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Boreland tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Boreland, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What the job involves on each surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it, so the new seal holds.
FAQs: Boreland
What site paperwork comes with a job in Boreland?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is a smaller place like Boreland outside your area?
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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. We diagnose which one it is before resealing since each needs a different fix.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Boreland. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quoting for work in Boreland
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building near Boreland, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Joints that move: notes for Boreland
Boreland is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
In and around Boreland, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Boreland is about 17 miles north-west of Crieff, in Perth and Kinross. Commercial clients in Boreland can call on us for movement joints. We work across 114 places in Perth and Kinross, large and small. Dundee is covered too, some 43 miles away.
If you need expansion joint sealing in PH15, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your site is on Tay Sealladh and Tigh na Loan or close by, we can quote for movement joints. We also cover Fearnan (1 mile east), Acharn (3 miles east), Kenmore (4 miles east), Aberfeldy (9 miles east) and Kinloch Rannoch (9 miles north-west).

What we’re called out for in Boreland
Sun, rain and frost age external movement joints. UV hardens the surface, and the sealant loses its ability to stretch, so it can’t follow the movement any more.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Around Boreland, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
