How we handle floor joint sealing in Ashkirk
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about dock area joints that have failed first and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ashkirk is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Ashkirk, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

FAQs: Ashkirk
Is Ashkirk too far out for you?
Not at all. Ashkirk is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our site in Ashkirk have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays

Leave it or put it right?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we’ll say which joints need what. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ashkirk. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
