Floor joint sealing in Heiton, done properly
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Heiton carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is dock area joints that have failed first and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. Most enquiries from Heiton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Heiton, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
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.

How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs near Heiton are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Loading bays
What else we do in Heiton
Common problems we fix in Heiton
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is usually where joint failure starts.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- A rough ride across broken joints
A healthcare site such as Kelso Hospital (to the north of Heiton) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Why act early in Heiton
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- One number for every site we cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
