Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Fankerton
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and what we are called in for most is untidy open joints in a retail unit and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fankerton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Fankerton 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Your questions answered
Is Fankerton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Forth Valley Royal 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.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Cost factors for floor joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Fankerton
Fankerton is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
A healthcare site such as Forth Valley Royal Hospital (to the east of Fankerton) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In a school such as Denny High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Fankerton is about 6 miles north-east of Cumbernauld, in Falkirk. Fankerton sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Falkirk coverage takes in 53 places. Glasgow is covered too, around 17 miles from Fankerton.
Work on floor joints is covered throughout FK6, for business premises of every kind. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Glenview, Darrach Drive and Grahamshill Terrace and the roads nearby. If your building is just outside Fankerton, we cover Stoneywood (1 mile east), Dunipace (1 mile east), Denny (1 mile south-east), Head of Muir (2 miles south-east) and Dennyloanhead (2 miles south-east). A short drive away, we cover Falkirk (6 miles east), Grangemouth (9 miles east), Bo'ness (13 miles east), Larbert (4 miles east), Stenhousemuir (5 miles east) and Bonnybridge (3 miles south-east).
What’s near Fankerton

Why it’s worth doing now in Fankerton
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Fankerton, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
