How floor joint sealing works in West Lothian
For sites across West Lothian, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. Most enquiries involve untidy open joints in a retail unit and open saw cuts full of debris, on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- 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.

Floor joint sealing across West Lothian: the area picture
Industrial estates, business parks and retail parks around Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow and elsewhere in West Lothian typically have floor and slab joints under daily traffic. The right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement.
Our area covers every Scottish council area, West Lothian included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Parts of West Lothian lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.
Livingston: In a school such as Inveralmond Community High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. For an estate such as Saint John's Hospital, under half a mile south-west of Livingston, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Building owners, agents and FMs in West Lothian
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in West Lothian can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Lothian.
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here usually fail first, so they are often the place to start.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out.

What affects the price in West Lothian
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
FAQs: West Lothian
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you cover West Lothian?
Yes. We take on work across West Lothian.
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 about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
