About our expansion joint sealing in Croftamie
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: temperature, moisture, shrinkage and loading all make materials grow and shrink. Expansion and movement joints are built in so the structure can move without cracking and the seal across each one keeps out water and grit. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Croftamie. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and arrises breaking up along floor joints. For commercial sealant work in Croftamie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller Scottish places like Croftamie, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Croftamie
Some joints were never sealed with the right product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Around Croftamie, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Croftamie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Quoting for work in Croftamie
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between different materials
Junctions between brick and render, or concrete and cladding, move independently. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement, with primer where specified.
Internal floor movement joints
Wheeled traffic chips floor joint edges that aren’t supported. The right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement protects them flagging broken arrises before sealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Croftamie
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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Croftamie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises

Your questions answered
Must our site in Croftamie stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Killearn Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
