Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Auldcathie
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Auldcathie. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Auldcathie has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
At places like Greendykes Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles south of Auldcathie, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. A healthcare site such as Hopetoun House, 2 miles north of Auldcathie, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In a school such as Winchburgh Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Auldcathie can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Lothian.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors

Questions we’re asked in Auldcathie
Will you take on work at estates like Albyn Industrial Estate, close to Auldcathie?
Yes. We cover Auldcathie and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Albyn Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Auldcathie is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
