When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why act early in Blackdog
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. Around smaller places like Blackdog, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What else we do in Blackdog
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
We will give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Your questions answered
Our building in Blackdog is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Blackdog, such as Blackdog Industrial Centre?
Yes, sites like Blackdog Industrial Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Blackdog. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs near Blackdog are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Joints that move: notes for Blackdog
Blackdog lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the east of Scotland, Blackdog gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
On industrial estates such as Blackdog Industrial Centre, under half a mile north-west of Blackdog, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. University campuses such as University of Aberdeen (to the south of Blackdog) have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Core Business Park (1.4 miles south of Blackdog): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Blackdog is about 5 miles north-east of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Our applicators travel to Blackdog for work on floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 179 places in Aberdeenshire, large and small.
