Questions about Earlston
Is Station Yard Industrial Estate, near Earlston, within your area?

Is Earlston off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.
Floor joint sealing in Earlston
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. Site teams most often ask us about scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and joint fill separating from the concrete, across joints along racking aisles, construction joints and loading bays. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Earlston tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Earlston, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Earlston
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Filler that has parted from one face
- A rough ride across broken joints
Hospital campuses such as Dingleton Hospital, 3.9 miles south-west of Earlston, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Floor joint sealing around Earlston: what changes locally
Earlston is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
University campuses such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus (to the south-west of Earlston) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Estates like Station Yard Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the south-east of Earlston, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Earlston with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Honest limits

- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Quoting for work in Earlston
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

Why act early in Earlston
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 the quote shows which approach suits each run. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Earlston, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
