Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day, so their joints wear fastest. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Burnside
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you’re dealing with soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and untidy open joints in a retail unit, we can help, on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and loading bays alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burnside tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For outside joints near Burnside, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions from Burnside clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Cathcart Court Industrial Estate, near Burnside?
Yes. Our area takes in Burnside and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Cathcart Court Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Common problems we fix in Burnside
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
Warehouse floors on estates like Cathcart Court Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Burnside, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Burnside is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Burnside. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
