How we handle floor joint sealing in Stor
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles, and what we’re called in for most is soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and loading bay joints breaking down. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stor? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For outside joints near Stor, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Stor
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Once a joint near Stor opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Common questions from Stor clients
Does the sea air around Stor change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Stor outside your area?
No. Places such as Stor are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Stor
With the shore within about 1 mile, Stor counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Stor is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
In and around Stor, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern.

Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
