Cost factors for floor joints

Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:

  • How accessible the joints are
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, 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 to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Any specification or named product
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.

On site: what to expect

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Innerleithen. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

  1. First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
  2. Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
  3. We clear each run back to clean concrete.
  4. We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
  5. You get a time for each zone to reopen.

Before we start on site

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Ask for a quote

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Advice

Why act early in Innerleithen

Dirt and spillage gather in open joints, out of reach of the floor cleaner. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. For buildings near Innerleithen, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Why clients in Innerleithen choose us

  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Clear, fixed quotes

  • One number for every site we cover

What the job involves on each surface

Flexible floor sealants

Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.

Loading bays and dock areas

Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.

When it isn’t the sealant

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:

  • A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
  • Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
  • A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Loading bays
  • Saw-cut induced joints
  • Joints along racking aisles
  • Forklift and pallet-truck routes
  • Construction joints
  • Retail and showroom floors

Floor joint sealing in Innerleithen: the local picture

Innerleithen is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.

Around Innerleithen, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A healthcare site such as Hay Lodge Hospital, 5.8 miles to the west of Innerleithen, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Innerleithen: questions and answers

Is Innerleithen too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Innerleithen is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Does a site in Innerleithen have to shut while its 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. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.

How long will the new sealant last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?

It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?

A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.

After the work

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

  • Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
  • Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
  • Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
  • Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready

Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.

Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
