Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Floor movement joints in warehouses, retail and public buildings carry wheeled traffic. Without a sound filler, joint edges chip and spall under load so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. If the arrises are already broken, we will say so before sealing, and phased work keeps areas in use. If you have weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and arrises breaking up along floor joints, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kirkton of Auchterhouse from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Kirkton of Auchterhouse, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kirkton of Auchterhouse is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We assess the joints on site or from photos, noting widths and how each has failed.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- 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.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Cost factors for movement joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Kirkton of Auchterhouse outside your area?
No. Places such as Kirkton of Auchterhouse are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Royal Dundee Liff Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
The joint has to be dry, and the air and surface temperature inside the product’s limits. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work so external dates keep some flexibility.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photos help us judge the joints, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
Concrete and precast panel joints
Precast panels often have surface residues that sealant won’t bond to. We prepare the faces thoroughly and prime where the maker calls for it and check the edges for soundness as we go.
