About our expansion joint sealing in Patna
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, CSCS-carded applicators and five million pounds of public liability insurance. Each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship. If you’re dealing with previous reseals laid over old sealant and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Patna 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.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Patna: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
When to bring in a specialist
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, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Questions we’re asked in Patna
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Patna?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Patna too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Patna is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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 unless the specification names something else.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed, and we will tell you if any edges need repairing first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Every joint we seal is backed by a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. Record which product went into which joints in the building file so future maintenance isn’t guesswork.
Floor joints with failed fillers break up quickly under wheels. Broken arrises jolt trucks, loads and drivers, and the damage spreads along the joint. Sealing early protects the edges.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Patna is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take 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.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we will need
