How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. City jobs in Dyce usually need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with photographs, 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.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Dyce
Every structure moves a little, all the time: 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. We work on brickwork movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are previous reseals laid over old sealant and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Most enquiries from Dyce start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Dyce
Less than 3 miles from Dyce there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment. The east of Scotland, where Dyce is, gets less rain than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Campuses like University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus (3.9 miles south-east of Dyce) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. Sites like Woodend Hospital (3.8 miles south of Dyce) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. For an occupier at a site such as Farburn Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Dyce, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

Leave it or put it right?
A like-for-like reseal of a joint that keeps splitting rarely lasts. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we will say so before quoting. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint

Dyce: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Farburn Industrial Estate, close to Dyce?
Yes, sites like Farburn Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dyce. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does a site in Dyce have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work in Dyce?
Yes. We take on work across Dyce, with one number for every area we cover.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
What else we do in Dyce
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
