Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Auchendinny with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Auchendinny
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and flexible sealant torn out by wheels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Auchendinny, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Auchendinny, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Leave it or put it right?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Auchendinny, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Joints that move: notes for Auchendinny
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Auchendinny. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Being in the east of Scotland, Auchendinny gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
For estates staff at a university like University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus, which lies north of Auchendinny, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Another example is Eastfield Farm Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Auchendinny, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

When to call us in Auchendinny
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Filler that has parted from one face
For a centre such as Straiton Retail Park (2.5 miles north of Auchendinny), the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.
