About our expansion joint sealing in Kingennie
Buildings and slabs are never completely still: 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. Mastic Doctor reseals movement joints in brickwork, blockwork, concrete, cladding and floors on sites in Kingennie. If you have movement joints with split or torn sealant and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, we can help, on car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kingennie first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Kingennie, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Kingennie clients
Is Kingennie too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kingennie are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Ashludie Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
Sealant needs sound faces to bond to, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Different surfaces, different methods
Podium joints
Podium joints often sit within a waterproofing system. Where the specification calls for sealant, we reseal and flag it if the membrane looks like the source.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints.
Quoting for work in Kingennie
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Where we can, we combine work around Kingennie with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, joint lengths and drawings come to us, or we visit.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Warehouse floors and decks around Kingennie
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Kingennie. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Being in the east of Scotland, Kingennie gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For a school such as Monifieth High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an estate such as Ashludie Hospital, which lies south-east of Kingennie, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Kingennie is about 3 miles north of Broughty Ferry, in Angus. We cover commercial sites throughout Kingennie, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Angus coverage takes in 65 places. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area, about 6 miles away.

Near you in Kingennie
The nearest railway station is Monifieth station, about 2.6 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Ashludie Hospital (2.1 miles south-east) and Ballumbie Castle (2.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Trottick Mill Ponds.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep traffic off new joints until the cure time is up
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. Regular sweeping keeps joint lines clear.
A failed deck joint lets water straight through to the level below. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles, which is bad news for the concrete and the people parking below. Resealing early limits the damage.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Kingennie
The edges of the material can fail rather than the sealant. Weak or crumbling concrete, brick or render edges give the sealant nothing sound to grip.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Sealant pulling off the joint face
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
If you manage units on an estate such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate (2.5 miles south-west of Kingennie), the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.
