Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
About our floor joint sealing in Melvich
For sites in Melvich and across Highland, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors, and what we’re called in for most is a rough ride across broken joints and flexible sealant torn out by wheels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Melvich, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Melvich, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in Melvich
Why act early in Melvich
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints, whether or not the floor is coated. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Melvich. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Quoting for work in Melvich
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Melvich: questions and answers
Is Melvich too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can being near the sea in Melvich affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Joints that move: notes for Melvich
Melvich sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The east of Scotland, where Melvich is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A joint near Melvich that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. Around Melvich, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Melvich (Gaelic: Meabhaich) is about 15 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Across the KW14 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
