About our floor joint sealing in Auchtertyre
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, across joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints. For commercial sealant work in Auchtertyre, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Auchtertyre, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

When to call us in Auchtertyre
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
Across sites such as Ardelve Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles east of Auchtertyre, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Joints that move: notes for Auchtertyre
With the shore within about 1 mile, Auchtertyre 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, so it pays to keep them sealed. The 3 miles around Auchtertyre take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Parks like Lochalsh Business Park, less than half a mile south-east of Auchtertyre, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
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 normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Leave it or put it right?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Around smaller places like Auchtertyre, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Auchtertyre clients
Is a smaller place like Auchtertyre outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Lochalsh Business Park, near Auchtertyre, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Auchtertyre, Lochalsh Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
