Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Corrie Common?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do we have to stop operations in Corrie Common while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Corrie Common
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. If you have brittle, chalky sealant on external joints and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Corrie Common first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Corrie Common, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Joints that move: notes for Corrie Common
Being in the east of Scotland, Corrie Common gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
A joint near Corrie Common that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first. For floors and slabs around Corrie Common, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What affects the price in Corrie Common
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Specification clauses that apply
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Commercial clients in Corrie Common
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs near Corrie Common are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect movement joints alongside other routine building checks
Floor joints on main traffic routes need watching more closely than the rest. Keep racking feet and heavy point loads off joint lines, and report any chipped edges early.
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 the work can be planned rather than rushed. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Surface by surface
Podium joints
Podiums take foot traffic, planters and weather. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Joints between precast panels open and close with temperature and loading. The sealant needs the right movement capability and a controlled depth.
