Floor joint sealing in Riccarton, done properly
Mastic Doctor has worked on joints in commercial buildings for over 20 years. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about brittle joint filler breaking up and untidy open joints in a retail unit, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and retail and showroom floors. Most enquiries from Riccarton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Riccarton, 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: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Floor joint sealing in Riccarton: the local picture
Being in the west of Scotland, Riccarton gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them. Less than 3 miles from Riccarton there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
On industrial estates such as Mayfield Industrial Estate (2.2 miles north-east of Riccarton), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Another example is Bonnyton Industrial Estate, which lies north of Riccarton, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.
Riccarton is about 2 miles south of Kilmarnock, in East Ayrshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Riccarton use us for work on floor joints, as part of our coverage of East Ayrshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.

What we are called out for in Riccarton
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is usually where joint failure starts.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Schools like Kilmarnock Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Questions we’re asked in Riccarton
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Kirklandside Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Mayfield Industrial Estate, by Riccarton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Riccarton, Mayfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
