Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Whyteman's Brae 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.
Can you work at a site such as Cardenden Industrial Park, by Dundonald?
Yes, sites like Cardenden Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Dundonald. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Dundonald
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you are dealing with joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and dock area joints that have failed first, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dundonald first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dundonald, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Dundonald
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
At places like Lochiew Industrial Estate (1.3 miles south-west of Dundonald), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Warehouse floors and decks around Dundonald
The 3 miles around Dundonald take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints. The east of Scotland, where Dundonald is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

Campuses like University of Dundee - Fife Campus (to the south-east of Dundonald) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dundonald
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Dundonald, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
