About our floor joint sealing in Fountainhall
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is open saw cuts full of debris and brittle joint filler breaking up. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fountainhall is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Fountainhall 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 the details over and we will come back to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in Fountainhall?
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.
Do we have to stop operations in Fountainhall while the joints are sealed?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
What we’re called out for in Fountainhall
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.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Around Fountainhall, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
