How we handle floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Craig
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. If you have open saw cuts full of debris and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can help, on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and retail and showroom floors alike. Whoever orders the work in Kirkton of Craig, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Kirkton of Craig, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Kirkton of Craig
Is Kirkton of Craig 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a coastal location like Kirkton of Craig affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Warehouse floors and decks around Kirkton of Craig
Kirkton of Craig lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Kirkton of Craig is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.

What else we do in Kirkton of Craig
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
