Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Floor joint sealing in Abbeyhill, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. If you have flexible sealant torn out by wheels and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Abbeyhill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In Scotland’s cities, buildings from car parks and malls to university and hospital estates rely on movement joints. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Astley Ainslie Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Meadowbank Shopping Park, near Abbeyhill, within your area?
Yes, sites like Meadowbank Shopping Park are within our area, along with the rest of Abbeyhill. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
We normally work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What else we do in Abbeyhill
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
