Floor joint sealing in Wallyford, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. The enquiries we see most involve loading bay joints breaking down and sealant pulled out along a truck route, on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Wallyford? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Wallyford, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Wallyford as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wallyford
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Around smaller places like Wallyford, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Cost factors for floor joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Wallyford
Wallyford lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Wallyford. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For an occupier at a site such as Wallyford Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the east of Wallyford, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear. A healthcare site such as Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (to the west of Wallyford) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. A campus such as Queen Margaret University (to the west of Wallyford) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.

FAQs: Wallyford
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Our building in Wallyford is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Wallyford with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints
