How we handle floor joint sealing in Gartly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you are dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Gartly? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Gartly: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Questions we’re asked in Gartly
Does a site in Gartly have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Jubilee Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Normally only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Gartly
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.

Large sites such as Jubilee Hospital (to the north of Gartly) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For floors and slabs around Gartly, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Where we can, we combine work around Gartly with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
