When something else is needed

- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Burghead
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you have unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Burghead?

Floor joint sealing in Burghead: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Burghead. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Burghead is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
In and around Burghead, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Around Burghead, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Burghead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- 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.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and protects the floor.
Loading bays and dock areas
We usually work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Burghead clients
Our building in Burghead 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.
Must our site in Burghead stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
