How we handle expansion joint sealing in Maud
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. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve debris jammed in movement joints and expansion joints split through the centre of the bead, across brickwork movement joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Maud, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Maud is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Broken or spalled joint edges, which need repairing before any sealant goes in
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
Debris does more harm to joint sealant than most people realise. Grit trodden or driven into the joint works at the surface until it tears. A routine sweep is the simplest protection.
Once debris packs a failed joint, the structure has nowhere to expand. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. A sound seal keeps the joint working.
Do you need expansion joint sealing in Maud?
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Sealant fixed to the base and sides can’t flex, so it tears so backing is set before sealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Expansion joints split through the centre of the bead
Hospitals like Maud Hospital (to the south-east of Maud) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Maud. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

Joints that move: notes for Maud
The east of Scotland, where Maud is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
In and around Maud, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Maud is about 12 miles south of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. We cover Maud and the rest of Aberdeenshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Maud is one of 179 places we cover in Aberdeenshire for movement joints. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, about 25 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: AB42 for movement joints. Buildings on Market Street, School Road and Deer Road are within our area. We also cover New Deer (2 miles west), Turfhill (3 miles west), Old Deer (3 miles east), Stuartfield (3 miles east) and Auchnagatt (4 miles south) for movement joints. Further afield, our area takes in Peterhead (12 miles east), Fraserburgh (12 miles north), Ellon (11 miles south), Turriff (12 miles west), Roanheads (13 miles east) and Clerkhill (12 miles east).

Questions we are asked in Maud
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Maud Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does a site in Maud have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The right product depends on the joint. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints, and the specification has the final say.
What causes movement joint sealant to fail?
The common causes are poor preparation, three-sided adhesion, the wrong movement class and weathering. Working out the cause comes first.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can you seal joints in cold or wet weather?
Outside work depends on conditions because a damp or frozen joint won’t take a proper bond. Internal floor joints are far less affected.
