What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so deliveries keep moving. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
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 are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Braeside
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant pulled out along a truck route and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Braeside is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Industrial estates around Scotland’s cities hold warehouses, trade units and distribution sheds, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Our building in Braeside is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Would you work within a site like Albyn Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
When to call us in Braeside
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support, so the concrete still breaks beside it. It can go the other way too: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
Places like Garthdee Retail Park (1 mile south-east of Braeside) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. City jobs in Braeside typically need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Floor joint sealing in Braeside: the local picture
Braeside sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Braeside is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For an estate such as Albyn Hospital, which lies north-east of Braeside, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Mastrick Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north of Braeside): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
