Floor joint sealing in Ardtun: the local picture
Ardtun sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Ardtun gets more rain than eastern areas. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For floors and slabs around Ardtun, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Once a joint near Ardtun opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Ardtun is about 29 miles west of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. We cover commercial sites throughout Ardtun, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 124 places in Argyll and Bute, large and small.

Floor joint sealing in Ardtun
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you have sealant pulled out along a truck route and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Ardtun? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Ardtun: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Why act early in Ardtun
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Ardtun, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Ardtun: questions and answers
Our building in Ardtun is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Ardtun too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ardtun are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are normally enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.

Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
