How we handle expansion joint sealing in Udny Station
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: vertical joints in brick and block facades, joints between precast or cladding panels, concrete slab and deck joints, ramps, podiums and internal floors. The product depends on the movement, the weather and anything that runs over it, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. Most enquiries involve leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and previous reseals laid over old sealant, on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and brickwork movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Udny Station, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Udny Station, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we are called out for in Udny Station
Most movement joint failures come down to the joint stretching further than the sealant can take. Cohesive failure, a split through the centre, typically means the joint or product wasn’t right for the movement. Resealing like for like often fails the same way unless width and product are reviewed.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
For floors and slabs around Udny Station, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Questions about Udny Station
Does a site in Udny Station have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kingseat Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Why act early in Udny Station
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan around it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Udny Station. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Include every elevation and deck joint in periodic inspections
- Leave barriers in place until fresh joint sealant has cured
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
Keep wheels, feet and water off new joints until the sealant has cured. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint and we will tell you when each bay or area can reopen. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
External wall joints that fail let rain into the masonry and cavity. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For a building near Udny Station, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- Closed-cell backing rod is set to depth, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints.
- After any primer the maker requires, the bead is applied and tooled so it grips two sides only.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
