Floor joint sealing in Auldhouse, done properly
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. We work on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles, and what we’re called in for most is joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Auldhouse first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When to call us in Auldhouse
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Loading bay joints breaking down
A campus such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (to the north of Auldhouse) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints that move: notes for Auldhouse
The 3 miles around Auldhouse take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. Auldhouse is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
At a retail site such as Auldhouse Retail Park, which lies south-east of Auldhouse, joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day. Hospital campuses such as New Victoria Hospital (to the east of Auldhouse) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a site in Auldhouse have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
