How we handle floor joint sealing in Caddonfoot
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays, and what we’re called in for most is brittle joint filler breaking up and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints.

Around smaller Scottish places like Caddonfoot, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Caddonfoot

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Caddonfoot with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

When to call us in Caddonfoot
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
For estates staff at a university like Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus, which lies east of Caddonfoot, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

Common questions from Caddonfoot clients
Is Caddonfoot off your patch?
No. Places such as Caddonfoot are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Borders General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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 nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
