Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005 for contractors, facilities managers and owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and car park decks and ramps, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are expansion joints filled with dirt and stones and sealant peeling off one face of the joint. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kirkton of Maryculter from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Kirkton of Maryculter, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why act early in Kirkton of Maryculter
Sealing over a failed movement joint is a common shortcut. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. We cut out the old seal and prepare the faces every time. Around smaller places like Kirkton of Maryculter, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

Kirkton of Maryculter: questions and answers
Is Kirkton of Maryculter off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Woodend Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can weather delay the job?
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 work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure so we’d rather rearrange than seal in the rain. The work is simply moved to the next suitable day.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
Grit is the slow enemy of a joint seal. Stones pressed into the bead by wheels or feet can puncture it, especially on car park decks and warehouse floors. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. It pays to check every joint, not just the obvious one. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
