Floor joint sealing in Aberdeen: how it works

A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are joint fill separating from the concrete and sealant pulled out along a truck route.

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

  1. We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
  2. You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
  3. Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
  4. We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
  5. Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
  6. We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.

Floors, slabs and movement joints across Aberdeen

From Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill to smaller places, Aberdeen has buildings and slabs with movement joints that need resealing as they age. When they fail, water and grit get in and the edges start to break.

Across Aberdeen, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. In the parts of Aberdeen near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.

Aberdeen: University campuses such as University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus (0.5 miles west of Aberdeen) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Places like Berryden Retail Park, less than half a mile north-east of Aberdeen, put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.

Surface by surface

Isolation joints at walls and columns

Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. A flexible product suits them better than a stiff filler.

Saw-cut induced joints

A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.

Doing it in-house

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
  • Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
  • Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds

Common problems we fix in Aberdeen

Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.

Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:

  • A gap opening alongside old joint filler
  • Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
  • A rough ride across broken joints
  • Dock area joints that have failed first

Leave it or put it right?

Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated.

  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Your questions answered

When can forklifts run over new joint filler?

The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

What do you need from us to quote?

A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are usually enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange it.

Should floor joints be filled or sealed?

There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.

Do you repair broken joint edges?

A filler needs sound edges to grip. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.

Do you cover Aberdeen?

Yes. Aberdeen falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
