About our floor joint sealing in Clermiston
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. The enquiries we see most involve joint fill separating from the concrete and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, across loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Clermiston it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
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. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Questions we’re asked in Clermiston
Can you work at a site such as Corstorphine Retail Park, by Clermiston?
Yes. We cover Clermiston and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Corstorphine Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, something you do?
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.
Do you cover Clermiston?
Yes. Clermiston falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For premises in Clermiston, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- 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
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open

Related advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Clermiston
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Schools such as Craigmount High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their public liability cover
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Floor joint sealing in Clermiston: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Clermiston. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Clermiston is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital (1.2 miles south-east of Clermiston) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Places like Corstorphine Retail Park (0.9 miles south of Clermiston) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.
