Common questions from Ardentinny clients
Our building in Ardentinny is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a hospital such as Cowal Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Ardentinny
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and drivers complaining about joints on a route, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardentinny first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Ardentinny, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
Joints that move: notes for Ardentinny
Ardentinny is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Ardentinny is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
Hospital campuses such as Cowal Community Hospital (to the south of Ardentinny) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is usually dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Ardentinny?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
In and around Ardentinny, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
