Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. A periodic look picks up tears and lifting before water gets in, when they’re still cheap to deal with. Should you spot a problem, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort so you can prioritise and budget. We’ll tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.
Expansion joint sealing in Deanston, done properly
Every structure moves a little, all the time: they expand in the heat, shrink as they dry, and shift under load. 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 for buildings in Deanston. We work on precast concrete panel joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Most enquiries from Deanston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Deanston, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme because damage continues. 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 Deanston, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Deanston
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
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.
Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Deanston?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will our site in Deanston have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Deck and ramp joints are resealed with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Deanston 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.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- 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.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
