Floor joint sealing for businesses in Kelty
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Kelty
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. If you have drivers complaining about joints on a route and loading bay joints breaking down, we can help, on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kelty first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Kelty, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Kelty
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
For an occupier at a site such as Glenfield Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles south-east of Kelty, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers typically see the hardest wear.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Construction joints

- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. Wheel type and traffic level steer the product choice.
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we will say which joints need what. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Questions about Kelty
Is a smaller place like Kelty outside your area?
Not at all. Kelty is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Glenfield Industrial Estate, close to Kelty?

Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kelty is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- 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.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
