- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Floor joint sealing in Charleston
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on saw-cut induced joints, loading bays and joints along racking aisles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Charleston it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Charleston is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
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.

Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Charleston is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Charleston can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
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.
Questions we’re asked in Charleston
Is Charleston too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Alexandra Hospital?
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.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. 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.
Common problems we fix in Charleston
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
In a school such as Castlehead High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
