How we handle floor joint sealing in Hermiston
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you are dealing with joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hermiston from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Hermiston is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Hermiston, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we are called out for in Hermiston
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
For a store at a site such as Hermiston Gait Retail Park, which lies north-east of Hermiston, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints that move: notes for Hermiston
Hermiston is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage. The 3 miles around Hermiston take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
A healthcare site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north-east of Hermiston, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For estates staff at a university like Heriot-Watt University (0.8 miles south of Hermiston), building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Hermiston too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
