Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. Proper cleaning and primer where specified give a sound bond and check the edges for soundness as we go.
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.

FAQs: Brechin
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stracathro Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Brechin Business Park, close to Brechin?
Yes, sites like Brechin Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Brechin. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When to call us in Brechin
Sometimes the sealant holds but the substrate breaks away. If the edge of the joint is friable, the bond fails with it, so we tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
- Joints packed with grit and debris
In a school such as Brechin High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. 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 broken length grows with every pass. Keeping the filler or sealant sound protects the floor.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. For a building near Brechin, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- 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.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
