Sauchen: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Kirkwood Business Park, by Sauchen?
Yes, sites like Kirkwood Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sauchen. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Must our site in Sauchen stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
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 normally right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Floor joint sealing in Sauchen
For sites in Sauchen and across Aberdeenshire, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photos of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and loading bays, and what we are called in for most is chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and a rough ride across broken joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Sauchen it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Sauchen: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Floor joint sealing around Sauchen: points for this area
Being in the east of Scotland, Sauchen gets less rain than the west coast. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Business parks such as Kirkwood Business Park (0.7 miles east of Sauchen) have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. For floors and slabs around Sauchen, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Sauchen is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours, and we will confirm what the specified product offers.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
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.
