Common problems we fix in Dunning
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Around Dunning, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Dunning
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. If you have old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Dunning it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller places such as Dunning, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.

Commercial clients in Dunning
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs near Dunning are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

FAQs: Dunning
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Margaret's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do we have to stop operations in Dunning while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
