How we handle floor joint sealing in Blairdardie
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 will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. If you are dealing with broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Blairdardie first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Scotland’s cities, buildings from car parks and malls to university and hospital estates rely on movement joints. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common problems we fix in Blairdardie
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Hospital campuses such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital, 2 miles south-east of Blairdardie, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Quoting for work in Blairdardie
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Blairdardie

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. City jobs in Blairdardie typically need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Common questions from Blairdardie clients
Will our site in Blairdardie have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do you cover Blairdardie?
Yes. Blairdardie falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How the job changes by surface
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 give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
