About our floor joint sealing in Fordoun
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels 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. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and what we’re called in for most is drivers complaining about joints on a route and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Fordoun is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For outside joints near Fordoun, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.

Questions about Fordoun
Must our site in Fordoun stop work while the joints are done?
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 documents will you need to give us for a job in Fordoun?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you work in Fordoun?
Yes. We take on work across Fordoun, and the same phone number covers every area.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Fordoun
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. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Fordoun is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Warehouse floors and decks around Fordoun
The east of Scotland, where Fordoun is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Around Fordoun, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Once a joint near Fordoun opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Fordoun. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
