What affects the price in Rickarton
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Floor joint sealing in Rickarton
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Site teams most often ask us about a gap opening alongside old joint filler and sealant pulled out along a truck route, on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Rickarton from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Rickarton, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Rickarton as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Rickarton
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
Rickarton: questions and answers
Is Rickarton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a site in Rickarton have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Rickarton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Traffic, movement and joints around Rickarton
Rickarton is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
For floors and slabs around Rickarton, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. A healthcare site such as Kincardine Community Hospital, 3.2 miles south-east of Rickarton, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.

Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints, whether or not the floor is coated. For buildings near Rickarton, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
