Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Auchmithie
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. 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, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. We work on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is untidy open joints in a retail unit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Auchmithie from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For outside joints near Auchmithie, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Auchmithie. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchmithie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Joints that move: notes for Auchmithie
Auchmithie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Auchmithie is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Warehouse floors on estates like Wardmill Industrial Estate (2.9 miles south-west of Auchmithie) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint. Hospital campuses such as Arbroath Infirmary (to the south-west of Auchmithie) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Arbroath Infirmary, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
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 so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
