Cost factors for floor joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Largo
For sites in Upper Largo and across Fife, 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, or we can arrange a site visit. If you have filler that has parted from one face and loading bay joints breaking down, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Upper Largo, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Upper Largo: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
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.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Upper Largo, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Doing it in-house
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Commercial clients in Upper Largo
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cameron Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Our building in Upper Largo is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Upper Largo
Upper Largo is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Upper Largo is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
For floors and slabs around Upper Largo, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Hospital campuses such as Cameron Hospital, 5.5 miles to the south-west of Upper Largo, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
