Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Floor joint sealing in Sinclairston, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays 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 arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and construction joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. Most enquiries from Sinclairston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Sinclairston is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

A joint near Sinclairston that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

What we’re called out for in Sinclairston
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete, the new material simply lifts out.
Look out for the following:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
In and around Sinclairston, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Your questions answered
Must our site in Sinclairston stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Which documents can you supply for work in Sinclairston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
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 usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
