About our floor joint sealing in Inveresk
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulled out along a truck route and loading bay joints breaking down. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Inveresk? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Travel to smaller places like Inveresk is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
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.

Warehouse floors and decks around Inveresk
Inveresk lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the east of Scotland, Inveresk gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Broken concrete either side of the joint

Is Inveresk too far out for you?
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 repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment before or alongside any coating work. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Inveresk, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Inveresk 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.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Inveresk?
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
In a school such as Loretto School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
