Floor joint sealing in Dryburgh
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and joints along racking aisles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and a rough ride across broken joints. Whoever orders the work in Dryburgh, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why act early in Dryburgh
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Failed sealant in a shared building in Dryburgh can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Traffic, movement and joints around Dryburgh
With the shore within about 2 miles, Dryburgh counts as a coastal location. 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. Dryburgh has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Warehouse floors on estates like Ardyle Industrial Estate, under half a mile south of Dryburgh, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. At places like Dryburgh Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Dryburgh, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. A campus such as University of Dundee, 2.1 miles south-east of Dryburgh, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Ardyle Industrial Estate, near Dryburgh?
Yes, sites like Ardyle Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dryburgh. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is Dryburgh in your area?
Yes. Dryburgh falls within our area, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.

What else we do in Dryburgh
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Cost factors for floor joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
