Why act early in Gogar
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we will say which joints need what. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Public liability insurance in place

About our floor joint sealing in Gogar
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. 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. Site teams most often ask us about unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and sealant pulled out along a truck route, across retail and showroom floors, construction joints and joints along racking aisles. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Gogar from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Gogar: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Warehouse floors and decks around Gogar
With the shore within about 3 miles, Gogar counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the east of Scotland, Gogar gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
At places like Gyle Shopping Centre, which lies east of Gogar, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Retail centres such as The Gyle Shopping Centre (0.7 miles east of Gogar) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Gogar, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
When to call us in Gogar
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
For an estate such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital (2.6 miles east of Gogar), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Common questions from Gogar clients
Is Gogar too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as West Craigs Industrial Estate, by Gogar?
Yes. Our area takes in Gogar and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as West Craigs Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.

Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up normally puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Quoting for work in Gogar
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
