Leave it or put it right?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Levenwick, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Levenwick
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and leave that decision with you. Site teams most often ask us about a gap opening alongside old joint filler and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, across saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Most enquiries from Levenwick 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.
Around smaller Scottish places like Levenwick, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Levenwick is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- 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.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Levenwick
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
For floors and slabs around Levenwick, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Floor joint sealing in Levenwick: the local picture
Levenwick lies within about 1 mile of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being on an island, Levenwick means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
Around Levenwick, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Questions we are asked in Levenwick
Can you take on a job in Levenwick, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Levenwick included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does a site in Levenwick have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to set one up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
