About our floor joint sealing in Tarbrax
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and brittle joint filler breaking up. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tarbrax from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Tarbrax, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Will our site in Tarbrax have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is Tarbrax off your patch?
No. Places such as Tarbrax are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What we are called out for in Tarbrax
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Around Tarbrax, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints along racking aisles

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants

- The total length or number of joints
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
