Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Cornhill 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.

- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Cornhill
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can put it right, on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Cornhill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Cornhill: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common problems we fix in Cornhill
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
In and around Cornhill, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.

Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Cornhill while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Campbell Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
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.
