Floor joint sealing in Burnhouse, done properly
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Most enquiries involve flexible sealant torn out by wheels and cracked and crumbling joint fill, on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burnhouse tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller Scottish places like Burnhouse, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.

Joints that move: notes for Burnhouse
Burnhouse is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
In and around Burnhouse, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Schools such as Clandeboye School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Burnhouse, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For work around Burnhouse, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.

Questions we’re asked in Burnhouse
Is Burnhouse too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burnhouse is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Burnhouse?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
