What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first

Floor joint sealing in Glencraig, done properly
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 figure is fixed before work begins. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant pulled out along a truck route and open saw cuts full of debris. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Glencraig, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller Scottish places like Glencraig, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

FAQs: Glencraig
Is Glencraig off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Lynebank Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. 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.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over to set one up.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Normally only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints are where dirt collects where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Glencraig, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day, so their joints wear fastest. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
