About our floor joint sealing in Gordon
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you have filler that has parted from one face and dock area joints that have failed first, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Gordon it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gordon, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Gordon
Is Gordon too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Gordon are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Gordon?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
Surface by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day and the joints on them break down first. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed and fill up with dirt. We include them in the survey.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
Joints that move: notes for Gordon
Being in the east of Scotland, Gordon gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
In and around Gordon, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Once a joint near Gordon opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gordon before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
