Floor joint sealing in Braepark
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Braepark carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve a gap opening alongside old joint filler and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Whoever orders the work in Braepark, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as West Craigs Industrial Estate, by Braepark?
Yes. Our area takes in Braepark and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as West Craigs Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
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.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange it.
How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

Why act early in Braepark
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Failed sealant in a shared building in Braepark can affect more than one owner. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints

Related advice
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Braepark
Braepark lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Braepark is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
In a school such as Craigmount High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Warehouse floors on estates like West Craigs Industrial Estate (to the south of Braepark) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. At places like Corstorphine Retail Park (1.7 miles south of Braepark), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
