What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used

How we handle floor joint sealing in Cardrona
Across Cardrona and the rest of the Scottish Borders, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on construction joints, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are brittle joint filler breaking up and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. For commercial sealant work in Cardrona, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Cardrona: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Cardrona: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Hay Lodge Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Cardrona too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a job like this 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. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Cardrona
Cardrona is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
For an estate such as Hay Lodge Hospital (3.5 miles west of Cardrona), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For an occupier at a site such as Cavalry Park Industrial Estate (2.3 miles west of Cardrona), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.

Leave it or put it right?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Cardrona, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs near Cardrona are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
