How we handle floor joint sealing in Fauldhouse
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. The enquiries we see most involve scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and brittle joint filler breaking up, on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors. Searching for sealant specialists in Fauldhouse? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller Scottish places like Fauldhouse, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Fauldhouse, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Other services in Fauldhouse
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. 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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Fauldhouse. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions we are asked in Fauldhouse
Is a hospital such as Tippethill House Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Must our site in Fauldhouse stop work while the joints are done?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
