Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Broomhouse
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. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we will confirm the choice in the quote. If you have water getting into the wall through a failed joint and previous reseals laid over old sealant, we can help, on blockwork control joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Broomhouse, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Broomhouse, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Do you need expansion joint sealing in Broomhouse?
When a bead pulls away from one face, it has lost adhesion. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons and it often shows on rushed work.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
For an occupier at a site such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate, which lies east of Broomhouse, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Broomhouse
Is a smaller place like Broomhouse outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Lightburn Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
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.
Why act early in Broomhouse
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. A higher movement class, or a design change by the engineer, may be needed, and we will say so before quoting. Around smaller places like Broomhouse, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
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 else we do in Broomhouse
General trades versus a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Broomhouse, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
