- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified

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 fixed quote when you are ready.

About our floor joint sealing in Mossbank
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and dock area joints that have failed first, on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Mossbank it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Mossbank: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Mossbank is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Mossbank
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Mossbank. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Being on an island, Mossbank means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
Once a joint near Mossbank opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break. For floors and slabs around Mossbank, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- 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)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Common questions from Mossbank clients
Must our site in Mossbank stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can being near the sea in Mossbank affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
