Floor joint sealing in Jock's Lodge, done properly
Across Jock's Lodge and the rest of Edinburgh, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. Most enquiries involve old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and a rough ride across broken joints, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, joints along racking aisles and loading bays. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Jock's Lodge first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Jock's Lodge, such as Meadowbank Shopping Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Jock's Lodge, Meadowbank Shopping Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does the sea air around Jock's Lodge change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation usually comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later, and we will explain it when we quote.
Retail and showroom floors
Shop and showroom floors often have exposed slab joints, especially with polished or coated concrete. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Why deal with it now?
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, with longer closures to match. Failed sealant in a shared building in Jock's Lodge can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
