Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Denholm with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Common questions from Denholm clients
Do we have to stop operations in Denholm while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Hawick Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
Why it’s worth doing now in Denholm
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. For buildings near Denholm, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- CSCS-carded applicators
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Quoting for work in Denholm
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.

What we’re called out for in Denholm
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Open saw cuts full of debris
Schools like Craigmount School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
