About our floor joint sealing in Allanton
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction 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 construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and cracked and crumbling joint fill.

Around smaller Scottish places like Allanton, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
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.
Common questions from Allanton clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like University Hospital Wishaw?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Barncluith Business Centre, near Allanton?
Yes, sites like Barncluith Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Allanton. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Allanton before they leak.
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.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
