About our floor joint sealing in Bankglen
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have dock area joints that have failed first and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, we can help. Most enquiries from Bankglen start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Bankglen is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
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.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.

What else we do in Bankglen
What affects the price in Bankglen
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours so ask if the colour matters.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Questions about Bankglen
Is hospital work, at somewhere like East Ayrshire Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Bankglen off your patch?
Not at all. Bankglen is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.

For an estate such as East Ayrshire Community Hospital, 5.2 miles north-west of Bankglen, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Advice
Why act early in Bankglen
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Bankglen before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
