What affects the price in Claverhouse
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
About our floor joint sealing in Claverhouse
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you’re dealing with filler that has parted from one face and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Claverhouse, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. We work in phases with a product suited to the traffic, so operations carry on.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Claverhouse: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Claverhouse Industrial Park, near Claverhouse?
Yes. We cover Claverhouse and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Claverhouse Industrial Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like Kings Cross Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If you are not sure, just phone 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
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Traffic, movement and joints around Claverhouse
Claverhouse sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The 3 miles around Claverhouse take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Kingsway West Retail Park (1.4 miles south-west of Claverhouse): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. In a school such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. University campuses such as Abertay University, 2.1 miles south of Claverhouse, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
Claverhouse is about 1 mile north of Dundee, in Dundee. Any commercial site in Claverhouse is covered. Our Dundee coverage takes in 28 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Claverhouse, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
