Cost factors for movement joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in High Earnock
High Earnock is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give. High Earnock has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Warehouse floors on estates like Hillhouse Industrial Estate (to the north-east of High Earnock) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Centres like Hamilton Retail Park (to the north-east of High Earnock) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near High Earnock, such as Hillhouse Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in High Earnock and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hillhouse Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Udston Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Why do our movement joints keep failing?
Usually the joint is moving more than the sealant can take. That’s why we check width, depth and movement class before quoting, rather than replacing like for like.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. Keeping joints clear of debris helps them last.
Do you cover High Earnock?
Yes. We cover High Earnock, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
Whatever suits the joint and the specification. We name the proposed product in the quote, so you know what’s going in.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What we are called out for in High Earnock
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- New sealant over old, now failing
- Torn sealant in brick or block movement joints
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
Schools such as Earnock High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Comparing quotes
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

For work around High Earnock, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- 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.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Cracking or settlement that calls for an engineer’s assessment
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Cladding panel joints
