Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
About our expansion joint sealing in Provanmill
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005, for main contractors, FMs, managing agents and building owners. 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 car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and water getting into the wall through a failed joint, on blockwork control joints, precast concrete panel joints and podiums and floor movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Provanmill from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Glasgow. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

What else we do in Provanmill
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- Old sealant and filler are cut out and the joint faces cleaned back to sound material, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Car park decks and ramps
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Blockwork control joints
Surface by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Mortar snots and debris in the joint stop it working. We clear the joint fully before sealing and flag any joint that seems undersized.
Cladding panel joints
Metal and composite panels shift considerably as temperatures change. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen in a colour confirmed for that product.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Act on the first tear or lifting edge rather than waiting
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
- Check joints after long freezing spells
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.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Provanmill
The west of Scotland, where Provanmill is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Dry spells are used for the external joints. The 3 miles around Provanmill take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Estates like Blochairn Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south-west of Provanmill, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Retail centres such as St Rollox Business and Retail Park (to the west of Provanmill) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic. A campus such as University of Strathclyde (to the south-east of Provanmill) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
