Floor joint sealing in Craigie
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you’re dealing with cracked and crumbling joint fill and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Craigie tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For outside joints near Craigie, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Craigie with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Questions we’re asked in Craigie
Would you work within a site like Kirklandside Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do we have to stop operations in Craigie while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation normally comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
When to call us in Craigie
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Hospital campuses such as Kirklandside Hospital (2.6 miles north of Craigie) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

What else we do in Craigie
Why deal with it now?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
