About our floor joint sealing in Balloch
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, across loading bays, retail and showroom floors and construction joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Balloch tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Balloch is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Balloch
Balloch is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
On industrial estates such as Vale of Leven Industrial Estate (2.5 miles south of Balloch), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Sites like Vale of Leven District General Hospital, 1.1 miles south-west of Balloch, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balloch
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. For buildings near Balloch, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Questions about Balloch
Is Balloch off your patch?
No. Places such as Balloch are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Vale of Leven District General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Balloch, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
