Common questions from Logan clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as East Ayrshire Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Logan too far out for you?
No. Places such as Logan are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What exactly is a movement joint?
Movement joint is the broad term for any joint built in to let a structure move. On site, people tend to use them interchangeably.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Logan
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. 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. The enquiries we see most involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and expansion joints filled with dirt and stones, across precast concrete panel joints, cladding panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Logan first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Logan is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
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.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Car park decks and ramps
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal and a look at the joints after winter catches any damage.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. It can surface inside as damp a long way from the joint, well after the seal first opened. Resealing promptly prevents internal damage.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What we’re called out for in Logan
Car park decks and floors face loads that walls never see. Tyres and wheels press on the edges and the sealant, while grit and salts work into any gap. The product has to be suited to the traffic.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Layers of sealant in a movement joint
Large sites such as East Ayrshire Community Hospital (to the west of Logan) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Logan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Finished joints are checked and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
