Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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 our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Warehouse floors and decks around Gretna Green
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Gretna Green. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The east of Scotland, where Gretna Green is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A joint near Gretna Green that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Gretna Green is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
Your questions answered
Will our site in Gretna Green have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Gretna Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange it.
