How we handle floor joint sealing in Shillford
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we’ll say so and explain how it affects the programme. Site teams most often ask us about unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and brittle joint filler breaking up, on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and loading bays. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Shillford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For outside joints near Shillford, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Shillford?
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass, speeding up the damage.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Around Shillford, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How joint depth will be controlled
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs: Shillford
Can you work on a hospital site such as Riccartsbar Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Shillford too far out for you?
Not at all. Shillford is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
