About our floor joint sealing in Arbroath
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete 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. The enquiries we see most involve untidy open joints in a retail unit and drivers complaining about joints on a route, across construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Most enquiries from Arbroath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a Scottish town the size of Arbroath, floor joints are mostly in industrial units, supermarkets, retail parks and car parks. Traffic over joint edges, from forklifts to cars, is what breaks them down.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In a Scottish town such as Arbroath, outside work is planned around the weather and inside work around the occupants. Send photos or drawings and we will quote and plan to suit.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

How the job changes by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. Joints here usually fail first so many programmes begin here.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Arbroath. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arbroath
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. Wet weather and frost are hard on failed joints in a Scottish town like Arbroath, and the damage spreads from there. Resealing early keeps it a simple job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Arbroath
Arbroath sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Arbroath is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Another example is West John Street Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south-east of Arbroath, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Warehouse floors on estates like Dens Road Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north-east of Arbroath, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Schools such as Arbroath High School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.

Your questions answered
Our building in Arbroath is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you take on work at estates like Dens Road Industrial Estate, close to Arbroath?
Yes. Our area takes in Arbroath and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dens Road Industrial Estate included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone when we agree the phasing.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange it.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
