What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement priming where the maker calls for it.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photos help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
Expansion joint sealing in Broomlands
A movement joint only works while its seal does. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water, the joint can’t close properly and its edges begin to crumble. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. If you have joints packed with grit and debris and chipped joint edges on forklift routes, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Broomlands, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Broomlands, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we’re asked in Broomlands
Does the sea air around Broomlands change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ayrshire Central Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
They’re closely related. Both let materials grow and shrink with temperature, moisture and load.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Broomlands can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Broomlands
Broomlands is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Less than 3 miles from Broomlands there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
At a retail site such as Riverway Retail Park, which lies west of Broomlands, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day. Schools like Greenwood Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Heatherhouse Industrial Estate (1.5 miles south-west of Broomlands): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Broomlands is about 1 mile south-east of Irvine, in North Ayrshire. Broomlands sits inside our coverage and the rest of North Ayrshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 54 places in North Ayrshire, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page, about 22 miles away.
Anyone looking for expansion joint sealing in KA11 and KA12 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Gigha Lane, Pladda Avenue and Campsie Avenue are within our area. If your building is just outside Broomlands, we cover Bourtreehill (1 mile north-east), Lands of Broomlands (1 mile south-east), Irvine (1 mile north-west), Dreghorn (1 mile south-east) and Girdle Toll (1 mile west). Bigger towns within reach include Kilwinning (4 miles north-west), Saltcoats (6 miles west), Largs (15 miles north-west), Ardrossan (7 miles west), Stevenston (5 miles north-west) and Kilbirnie (10 miles north).
Around Broomlands
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Irvine Royal Academy and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Irvine station, roughly 1.6 miles west. A little further out are The Vennel Gallery (1.1 miles west) and Seagate Castle (1.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Caprington Loch.
Leave it or put it right?
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Broomlands. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
