How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Catrine. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
About our expansion joint sealing in Catrine
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. We work on blockwork control joints, cladding panel joints and precast concrete panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and previous reseals laid over old sealant. For commercial sealant work in Catrine, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Catrine is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. 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. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb

Questions about Catrine
Can you work at a site such as Station Road Industrial Estate, by Catrine?
Yes. Our area takes in Catrine and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Station Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Catrine outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Spalled edges need repairing before a new seal will last. A bead on a broken edge soon lets go.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What affects the price in Catrine
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one so you can prioritise and budget. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Catrine. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- CHAS accredited contractor
