How we handle floor joint sealing in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. 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. We work on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and loading bays, and what we’re called in for most is old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and joint fill separating from the concrete. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kirktown of Fetteresso tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Kirktown of Fetteresso, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What else we do in Kirktown of Fetteresso
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors

- Saw-cut induced joints

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kirktown of Fetteresso is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.

When to call us in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Where a joint is open, the wheel dips and strikes the far edge and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
On industrial estates such as Spurryhillock Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the east of Kirktown of Fetteresso, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.

Questions about Kirktown of Fetteresso
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kincardine Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Kirktown of Fetteresso off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Why deal with it now?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. 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. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Kirktown of Fetteresso

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
