Expansion joint sealing across Kirkton of Craig
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Kirkton of Craig
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. The remaining sealant is often close to failing too and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Around smaller places like Kirkton of Craig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Kirkton of Craig
Internal floor joints take trolleys, pallet trucks and forklifts. Unsupported edges break up under wheels so the product has to suit both the traffic and the movement. We will tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing and phasing can keep areas working. Site teams most often ask us about weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes and arrises breaking up along floor joints, across blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and brickwork movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kirkton of Craig? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Travel to smaller places like Kirkton of Craig is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Kirkton of Craig: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Kirkton of Craig affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you work at a site such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, by Kirkton of Craig?
Yes, sites like Broomfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kirkton of Craig. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint, and either way it needs a sound seal.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a short visit for a handful of joints, or several days or more for a car park deck or long runs of facade joints.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kirkton of Craig. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Traffic, movement and joints around Kirkton of Craig
