Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Fraserburgh
The seal is what lets a movement joint do its job. When the sealant splits or lets go, the gap fills with dirt and water. Dealt with early, it stays a sealant job rather than a concrete or masonry repair. We work on cladding panel joints, precast concrete panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and sealant pulling off the joint face. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fraserburgh? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Schools, health centres and council buildings in towns like Fraserburgh have long runs of brick and panel movement joints. Resealing them before water gets in protects the wall behind.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead laid on top of the failed one neither grips nor flexes properly, so it fails quickly. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. A leaking joint can damage finishes, stock and fittings inside. Putting it right early limits the damage.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What affects the price in Fraserburgh
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
A quote for movement joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint typically shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in Fraserburgh are planned with two things in mind: the forecast for external joints and the building’s hours for internal ones. Photos or drawings let us give a fixed quote and a realistic plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- The failed seal is removed and both faces are cleaned until sound and dry, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Joints too narrow for the movement, which need redesigning by the engineer
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Fraserburgh
With the shore within about 1 mile, Fraserburgh counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. Fraserburgh is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
On industrial estates such as Kessock Road Industrial Estate (0.6 miles east of Fraserburgh), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. For an estate such as Fraserburgh Hospital (under half a mile north-west of Fraserburgh), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Schools like Fraserburgh Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
