Floor joint sealing in Grantshouse
For sites in Grantshouse and across the Scottish Borders, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you have filler that has parted from one face and drivers complaining about joints on a route, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Grantshouse, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For outside joints near Grantshouse, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Grantshouse, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Questions about Grantshouse
Is a smaller place like Grantshouse outside your area?
No. Places such as Grantshouse are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Must our site in Grantshouse stop work while the joints are done?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Structural cracking in the slab
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Retail and showroom floors
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Common problems we fix in Grantshouse
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
In and around Grantshouse, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
