Your questions answered
Is Bucklerheads too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ashludie Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to set one up.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
About our floor joint sealing in Bucklerheads
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, 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’re dealing with dock area joints that have failed first and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bucklerheads 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.
For outside joints near Bucklerheads, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Bucklerheads as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs near Bucklerheads are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bucklerheads
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we’ll say which joints need what. For buildings near Bucklerheads, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
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.
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Bucklerheads. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Joints that move: notes for Bucklerheads
Less than 3 miles from Bucklerheads there are at least three named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Being in the east of Scotland, Bucklerheads gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Schools like Braeview Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. For an estate such as Ashludie Hospital, 2.8 miles to the south-east of Bucklerheads, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Warehouse floors on estates like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate (2.1 miles south of Bucklerheads) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
