About our floor joint sealing in Bundalloch
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and loading bays, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are drivers complaining about joints on a route and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bundalloch is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Bundalloch is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Bundalloch
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Bundalloch, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Joints that move: notes for Bundalloch
Bundalloch 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, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The west of Scotland, where Bundalloch is, gets more rain than the east. 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.
In and around Bundalloch, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Bundalloch: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Ardelve Industrial Estate, near Bundalloch?
Yes, sites like Ardelve Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bundalloch. 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.
Is Bundalloch too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Common problems we fix in Bundalloch
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Look out for the following:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Warehouse floors on estates like Ardelve Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south-west of Bundalloch, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

What affects the price in Bundalloch

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
