For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Floor joint sealing in Dollar
Before quoting, we look at what the floor is telling us: 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 and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. The enquiries we see most involve sealant pulled out along a truck route and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Dollar, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dollar, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Floor joint sealing around Dollar: points for this area
The east of Scotland, where Dollar is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
A joint near Dollar that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Dollar is about 6 miles north-east of Alloa, in Clackmannanshire. Across the FK14 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions we’re asked in Dollar
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Dollar?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Dollar off your patch?
No. Places such as Dollar are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Dollar, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Dollar
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Filler that has parted from one face
Around Dollar, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
