Floor joint sealing in Aird Tong, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you are dealing with trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Aird Tong tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Aird Tong: 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. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For work around Aird Tong, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor

Your questions answered
Do you work on the island where Aird Tong is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Aird Tong included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western Isles Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aird Tong
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Aird Tong before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Common problems we fix in Aird Tong
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Around Aird Tong, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
