How we handle floor joint sealing in Pitkerro
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. Site teams most often ask us about scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and loading bay joints breaking down, on construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pitkerro, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. In Pitkerro, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Questions we are asked in Pitkerro
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kings Cross Hospital, something you do?

When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are usually enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Joints that move: notes for Pitkerro
Pitkerro lies within about 2 miles of the sea. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Pitkerro 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.
For a store at a site such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, under half a mile to the east of Pitkerro, the service yard and goods-in area are where joints break down first. Across sites such as New Craigie Retail Park, under half a mile to the south of Pitkerro, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. University campuses such as Abertay University (to the south-west of Pitkerro) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.
