Your questions answered
Is Kirkton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Kirkton, such as Irongray Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Kirkton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Irongray Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
About our floor joint sealing in Kirkton
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 construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and what we are called in for most is scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and dock area joints that have failed first. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kirkton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Kirkton, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kirkton. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Traffic, movement and joints around Kirkton
The 3 miles around Kirkton take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Kirkton is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For estates staff at a university like Crichton University Campus, 4.6 miles south of Kirkton, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list. Parks like Irongray Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-west of Kirkton, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Another example is Dumfries Retail Park (2.6 miles south of Kirkton), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Where we can, we combine work around Kirkton with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
Surface by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
