When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Addiewell
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. The enquiries we see most involve untidy open joints in a retail unit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Addiewell? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Addiewell: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes

What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Addiewell can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Addiewell
The 3 miles around Addiewell take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. The east of Scotland, where Addiewell is, gets less rain than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
At places like Mosshall Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles north-west of Addiewell, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Office parks like West Calder Business Centre (1.4 miles east of Addiewell) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day. For an estate such as Tippethill House Hospital, 3.7 miles to the north-west of Addiewell, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Questions about Addiewell
Is Addiewell off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as West Calder Business Centre, by Addiewell?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Addiewell, West Calder Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Addiewell is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
