When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Joints along racking aisles

- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
About our floor joint sealing in Wigtown
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. If you are dealing with cracked and crumbling joint fill and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can help, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wigtown tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Wigtown: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Wigtown can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why deal with it now?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Wigtown before they leak.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed and fill up with dirt. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Wigtown
Wigtown lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The west of Scotland, where Wigtown is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
In and around Wigtown, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Around Wigtown, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Questions we’re asked in Wigtown
Must our site in Wigtown stop work while the joints are done?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Does a coastal location like Wigtown affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
