How we handle floor joint sealing in Craichie
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you’re dealing with sealant pulled out along a truck route and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Craichie first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Craichie, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Craichie outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Forfar Infirmary somewhere you can work?
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.
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 the filling isn’t wasted.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically 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.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Craichie with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.

Advice
Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours, and we’ll confirm what the specified product offers.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here normally fail first so many programmes begin here.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
Warehouse floors and decks around Craichie
The east of Scotland, where Craichie is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Around Craichie, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A healthcare site such as Forfar Infirmary, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Craichie, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Should maintenance staff do it?

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
