Expansion joint sealing in Dalmarnock
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. 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 arrises breaking up along floor joints and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, podiums and floor movement joints and precast concrete panel joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Dalmarnock, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. Those joints need a sealant with the right movement capability, sized to the gap.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Glasgow Royal Infirmary?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will our site in Dalmarnock have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What timescale should we allow for resealing expansion joints?
Expect a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints. Cure time before reopening is confirmed on the day.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Surface by surface
Joints between different materials
Some mixed-material joints suit a hybrid sealant. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
Car park decks and ramps
Deck and ramp joints take tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts. We use a sealant made for wheel loads and the expected movement, phased so parts of the car park stay open.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dalmarnock
A torn seal left alone typically gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
