Why it’s worth doing now in Boswall
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Boswall
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Boswall 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.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. City jobs in Boswall typically need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

FAQs: Boswall
Can you work on a hospital site such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Our building in Boswall is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Traffic, movement and joints around Boswall
Boswall is within about 1 mile of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Boswall. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
In a school such as Broughton High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. Another example is Granton Retail Park, which lies north-west of Boswall, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Business parks such as Broompark Business Park, 0.6 miles north-west of Boswall, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
