Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
About our floor joint sealing in Greenlaw
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 so the rest of the operation keeps going. Most enquiries involve a gap opening alongside old joint filler and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles. Most enquiries from Greenlaw start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Greenlaw, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why act early in Greenlaw
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. For buildings near Greenlaw, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Greenlaw can form part of a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs: Greenlaw
Is Greenlaw too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Greenlaw is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will our site in Greenlaw have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
