Floor joint sealing across Broxburn
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- The product specified
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Broxburn
Across Broxburn and the rest of East Lothian, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you are dealing with brittle joint filler breaking up and dock area joints that have failed first, we can put it right, on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and construction joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Broxburn it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller Scottish places like Broxburn, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Broxburn: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Broxburn change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Spott Road Industrial Estate, near Broxburn, within your area?
Yes, sites like Spott Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Broxburn. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Joints that move: notes for Broxburn
Broxburn lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. The east of Scotland, where Broxburn is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
If you manage units on an estate such as Spott Road Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Broxburn, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

When to call us in Broxburn
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
A healthcare site such as Belhaven Hospital (to the west of Broxburn) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
