Floor joint sealing in Gilmerton
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. The enquiries we see most involve scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and filler that has parted from one face, on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and construction joints. Most enquiries from Gilmerton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gilmerton, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gilmerton
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. For buildings near Gilmerton, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Quoting for work in Gilmerton
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. We match the product to the wheel types and the traffic.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors

Common questions from Gilmerton clients
Is a smaller place like Gilmerton outside your area?
No. Places such as Gilmerton are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Crioch Business Centre, near Gilmerton?
Yes, sites like Crioch Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Gilmerton. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Jobs near Gilmerton are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Getting the site ready

Getting a fixed quote
