How we handle floor joint sealing in Aird
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. The enquiries we see most involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, on construction joints, retail and showroom floors and loading bays. Searching for sealant specialists in Aird? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller Scottish places like Aird, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to call us in Aird
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
In and around Aird, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Before you book anyone
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Questions we are asked in Aird
Does the sea air around Aird change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you take on a job in Aird, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Aird included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are typically enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so ring 01277 525 020 or email us to set one up.
Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first so many programmes begin here.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Aird before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Aird
With the shore within about 1 mile, Aird counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Work on Aird has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos and joint sizes help us load the right products.
In a school such as Aird Primary School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
