How we handle floor joint sealing in Old Craighall
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on joints along racking aisles, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open saw cuts full of debris and cracked and crumbling joint fill. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Old Craighall, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For outside joints near Old Craighall, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
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.
Common questions from Old Craighall clients
Can being near the sea in Old Craighall affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you take on work at estates like Inveresk Mills Industrial Park, close to Old Craighall?
Yes, sites like Inveresk Mills Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Craighall. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We include them in the survey.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
Leave it or put it right?
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Old Craighall before they leak.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
