Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically 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. For a building near Whitecraigs, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and what we’re called in for most is filler that has parted from one face and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors.

FAQs: Whitecraigs
Is Whitecraigs too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Whitecraigs is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Thornliebank Industrial Estate, by Whitecraigs?
Yes. We cover Whitecraigs and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Thornliebank Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.

Less than 3 miles from Whitecraigs there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Being in the west of Scotland, Whitecraigs gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Dry spells are used for the external joints.

Common problems we fix in Whitecraigs
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
For a centre such as Greenlaw Retail Park, 1.6 miles west of Whitecraigs, the service yard and car park joints normally need attention first.
Comparing quotes
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- 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 we choose something that tolerates them.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
