Gorthleck: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Gorthleck outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Gorthleck have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
Will we need to close the floor?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Gorthleck
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you have a gap opening alongside old joint filler and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Gorthleck? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In smaller places such as Gorthleck, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

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. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Gorthleck, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Gorthleck. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

General trades versus a specialist
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Around Gorthleck, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Once a joint near Gorthleck opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
