How we handle floor joint sealing in Restalrig
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you have broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and loading bay joints breaking down, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Restalrig it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Scotland’s cities have multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, university and hospital estates, all with movement joints in decks, floors and walls. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Surface by surface
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.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Common problems we fix in Restalrig
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
University campuses such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus, 1.3 miles south-west of Restalrig, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Restalrig can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
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.
Common questions from Restalrig clients
Does your area include sites such as Albion Business Centre, near Restalrig?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Restalrig, Albion Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France), something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, 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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes typically need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Restalrig
Restalrig sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Restalrig. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Meadowbank Shopping Park (0.6 miles west of Restalrig): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Parks like Albion Business Centre, 0.5 miles west of Restalrig, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.
