For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Cramond, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cramond
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Around smaller places like Cramond, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Cramond can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For a building near Cramond, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.

- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.

Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Cramond. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Corstorphine Retail Park, near Cramond?

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you cover Cramond?
Yes. We cover Cramond and the rest of Edinburgh. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are usually enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so ring 01277 525 020 or email us to set one up.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Common problems we fix in Cramond
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Places like Corstorphine Retail Park, 1.7 miles south of Cramond, put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.
