Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Stichill
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. The enquiries we see most involve dock area joints that have failed first and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Stichill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller Scottish places like Stichill, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Stichill
Where floor joints take the most wear near Stichill
Being in the east of Scotland, Stichill gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Sites like Kelso Hospital, 2.6 miles south of Stichill, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Estates like Rosewood Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Stichill) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. For a school such as Kelso High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

FAQs: Stichill
Will you take on work at estates like Rosewood Industrial Estate, close to Stichill?
Yes. We cover Stichill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Rosewood Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kelso Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Separation normally comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:

Why it’s worth doing now in Stichill
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. Around smaller places like Stichill, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Where we can, we combine work around Stichill with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Stichill can form part of a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. 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.
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.
