What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

- Construction joints
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles

- Retail and showroom floors
About our floor joint sealing in Boarhills
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you have flexible sealant torn out by wheels and loading bay joints breaking down, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Boarhills is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Boarhills 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Boarhills is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

FAQs: Boarhills
Is a hospital such as St Andrews Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Our building in Boarhills 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 check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant.
Joints that move: notes for Boarhills
With the shore within about 1 mile, Boarhills counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. The east of Scotland, where Boarhills is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For estates staff at a university like University of St Andrews, 4.1 miles to the west of Boarhills, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

Common problems we fix in Boarhills
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
For an estate such as St Andrews Community Hospital, which lies west of Boarhills, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
