How we handle floor joint sealing in Torness
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and dock area joints that have failed first. Most enquiries from Torness start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Torness is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Torness before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Questions we’re asked in Torness
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Torness?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Torness too far out for you?
No. Places such as Torness are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Quoting for work in Torness
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
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
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day and the joints on them break down first. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
