When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Expansion joint sealing in Carlogie
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it and we name it in the quote. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and blockwork control joints, and what we are called in for most is torn sealant in brick or block movement joints and chipped joint edges on forklift routes. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Carlogie, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Carlogie, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed movement joint rarely stays a small problem. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Carlogie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Carlogie
Carlogie lies within about 1 mile of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Carlogie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Hospitals like Ashludie Hospital, 4.3 miles to the south-west of Carlogie, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. In a school such as Carnoustie High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Carlogie is about 1 mile north of Carnoustie, in Angus. We cover commercial sites throughout Carlogie, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Carlogie is one of 65 places we cover in Angus for movement joints. Sites around Dundee have their own page, about 10 miles away.
We cover the DD7 postcode districts for movement joints. If your site is on Isla Avenue, Carlogie Farm Road and Prosen Bank or close by, we can quote for movement joints. Close to Carlogie, our area also takes in Clayholes (1 mile south-west), Panbride (1 mile east), Carnoustie (1 mile south), Hunter's Town (1 mile south-west) and West Haven (1 mile south-east).

What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Carlogie: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Carlogie outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Carlogie affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
The metres of joint, the access and the amount of removal decide it. Typically it takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Adhesion failure, cohesive failure, edge breakdown and UV ageing account for most cases. Working out the cause comes first since each needs a different fix.
