Questions about Birsemore
Does your area include sites such as Aboyne Industrial Estate, near Birsemore?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Birsemore, Aboyne Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Birsemore too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Birsemore is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Birsemore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Birsemore
The east of Scotland, where Birsemore is, gets less rain than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them. Less than 3 miles from Birsemore there are two named estates and business parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Large sites such as Aboyne Hospital and Health Centre (to the north-east of Birsemore) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For a school such as Aboyne Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. For an occupier at a site such as Aboyne Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Birsemore, the joints at loading doors and dock levellers usually see the hardest wear.
