Questions about Gattonside
Is a smaller place like Gattonside outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Borders Innovation Park, near Gattonside, within your area?
Yes. We cover Gattonside and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Borders Innovation Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
About our floor joint sealing in Gattonside
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are filler that has parted from one face and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. For commercial sealant work in Gattonside, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Gattonside: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Floor joint sealing around Gattonside: points for this area
Gattonside has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Gattonside is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A campus such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus, 2.2 miles to the west of Gattonside, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. For buildings at a park such as Borders Innovation Park, 1.2 miles to the west of Gattonside, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks. Another example is Tweedbank Industrial Estate (1.2 miles west of Gattonside), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Gattonside is about 3 miles east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. We cover Gattonside, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Edinburgh page has more on work in that area, about 30 miles away.

Near you in Gattonside
The closest station to Gattonside is Tweedbank station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Melrose Motor Museum (0.5 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Eildon Hill North and Bemersyde Moss.
Why act early in Gattonside
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. For buildings near Gattonside, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
