When to call us in Ettrickbridge
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Around Ettrickbridge, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Floor joint sealing in Ettrickbridge, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ettrickbridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Ettrickbridge is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Questions we are asked in Ettrickbridge
What site paperwork comes with a job in Ettrickbridge?
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.
Will our site in Ettrickbridge have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
