Floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints, and what we are called in for most is drivers complaining about joints on a route and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Kirkton of Auchterhouse, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Kirkton of Auchterhouse too far out for you?
Not at all. Kirkton of Auchterhouse is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.

Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.

Quoting for work in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kirkton of Auchterhouse can form part of a wider programme.
Common problems we fix in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
In and around Kirkton of Auchterhouse, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
