About our expansion joint sealing in Windygates
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. Most enquiries involve car park joints leaking onto vehicles below and damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed, on precast concrete panel joints, podiums and floor movement joints and brickwork movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Windygates is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For outside joints near Windygates, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Is Windygates too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Mountfleurie Industrial Estate, close to Windygates?
Yes. Our area takes in Windygates and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Mountfleurie Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealing onto a damp surface leads to adhesion failure. We agree a revised date with you.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing is normally the answer, not replacing the element. Where the edges are sound, cutting out and resealing is enough. If the edges have broken up, we will tell you they need repairing first. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Windygates before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Windygates
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

What sealant work can’t fix
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:
- Proprietary pre-formed expansion joint systems
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Windygates are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. The joints need a low-modulus sealant with enough movement capability in a colour confirmed for that product.
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. A sealant suited to both traffic and exposure is used.
