Floor joint sealing near Brunstane
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Brunstane
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. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. If you’re dealing with trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Brunstane is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Industrial estates around Scotland’s cities hold warehouses, trade units and distribution sheds, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. We work in phases with a product suited to the traffic, so operations carry on.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Doing it in-house
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant.
Common questions from Brunstane clients
Would you work within a site like Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you take on work at estates like A1 Industrial Estate, close to Brunstane?
Yes. Our area takes in Brunstane and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as A1 Industrial Estate included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you work in Brunstane?
Yes. Brunstane falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are typically enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Floor joint sealing in Brunstane: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Brunstane. 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 Brunstane is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
At a retail site such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 1.6 miles to the south-west of Brunstane, trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. Across sites such as East Telferton Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Brunstane, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
