On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Templand with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Templand
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint fill separating from the concrete and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Templand first comes to us: 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 Templand 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we’re called out for in Templand
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:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
For floors and slabs around Templand, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
FAQs: Templand
Does a site in Templand have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is a hospital such as Lochmaben Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Warehouse floors and decks around Templand
Templand 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 an estate such as Lochmaben Hospital (2.4 miles south of Templand), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
