About our floor joint sealing in Moredun
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you have filler that has parted from one face and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Moredun, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Common questions from Moredun clients
Can you work at a site such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, by Moredun?
Yes, sites like Craigmillar Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Moredun. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Our building in Moredun is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
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.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
When to call us in Moredun
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
At places like Peffermill Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north of Moredun), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. City jobs in Moredun typically need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
Floor joint sealing in Moredun: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Moredun counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Moredun has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
A healthcare site such as Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, 0.5 miles north of Moredun, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Places like Craigmillar Shopping Centre (1.3 miles north of Moredun) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.
