About our floor joint sealing in Old Deer
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open saw cuts full of debris and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Whoever orders the work in Old Deer, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller Scottish places like Old Deer, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Old Deer, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Common problems we fix in Old Deer
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
Schools like Mintlaw Academy often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Commercial clients in Old Deer
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Old Deer can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours, and we will confirm what the specified product offers.
Your questions answered
Must our site in Old Deer stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Old Deer too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Worn screed or surface finishes
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
