How we handle floor joint sealing in Letham
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. Site teams most often ask us about broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and open saw cuts full of debris, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and construction joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Letham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For outside joints near Letham, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Letham clients
Will you take on work at estates like Broxden Business Park, close to Letham?
Yes. Our area takes in Letham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Broxden Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Perth Royal Infirmary?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover Letham?
Yes. Letham falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Letham. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When to call us in Letham
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Inveralmond Business Centre (1 mile north of Letham): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Open joints are where dirt collects, 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. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Letham before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Letham. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
