Floor joint sealing in Currie, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is cracked and crumbling joint fill and open saw cuts full of debris. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Currie tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Currie, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
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 we choose something that tolerates them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
How the job changes by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.
FAQs: Currie
Is Currie too far out for you?
No. Places such as Currie are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, by Currie?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Currie, Westside Plaza Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is typically dealt with by topping up.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Currie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What else we do in Currie
Traffic, movement and joints around Currie
Currie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage. Currie has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Schools such as Currie High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Pentland Gait Office Park (1.6 miles north of Currie): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Currie is about 5 miles south-west of West Coates, in Edinburgh. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Currie can call on us for floor joints. Our Edinburgh coverage takes in 174 places.

Sites close to Currie are covered too, including Curriehill (1 mile north-west), Juniper Green (1 mile north-east), Torphin (1 mile east), Balerno (1 mile south-west) and Baberton (1 mile north-east).

When to call us in Currie
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
For estates staff at a university like Heriot-Watt University, which lies north-west of Currie, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
