Expansion joint sealing in Hogaland, done properly
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it. We work on brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints, and what we are called in for most is joints packed with grit and debris and arrises breaking up along floor joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hogaland? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For outside joints near Hogaland, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Hogaland: questions and answers
Our building in Hogaland is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do we have to stop operations in Hogaland while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What guarantee do you give on joint sealing?
Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. Damage from later works or traffic loads outside the joint’s design isn’t a workmanship fault.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. We name the proposed product in the quote.

Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Hogaland
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. A stiff or general-purpose sealant across a joint with large movement won’t cope. Movement capability is set out in BS EN ISO 11600, and specifications often refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
Around Hogaland, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Comparing quotes
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall and the reseal becomes an edge repair as well. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Internal floor movement joints
Warehouse and retail floors have saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. A semi-rigid filler is common in trafficked industrial floors, with a flexible sealant where movement is larger.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves, and confirm it in the quote.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Hogaland
With the shore within about 1 mile, Hogaland counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being on an island, Hogaland means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Joint widths, lengths and the traffic over them help us bring the right fillers and sealants.
Once a joint near Hogaland opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
