How we handle floor joint sealing in Kirk Yetholm
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and joint fill separating from the concrete. Whoever orders the work in Kirk Yetholm, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Kirk Yetholm, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. 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.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Kirk Yetholm

Around Kirk Yetholm, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A joint near Kirk Yetholm that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.

Questions we’re asked in Kirk Yetholm
Is Kirk Yetholm too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kirk Yetholm is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to stop operations in Kirk Yetholm while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements, so their joints wear fastest. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. A flush, neat fill in a suitable colour keeps the floor looking right, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.
