When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Burnside of Duntrune
Burnside of Duntrune is within about 3 miles of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The east of Scotland, where Burnside of Duntrune is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Campuses like Abertay University (to the south-west of Burnside of Duntrune) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. If you manage units on an estate such as Baldovie Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the south of Burnside of Duntrune, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Retail centres such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre (to the south-west of Burnside of Duntrune) have floors, service yards and car parks with joints under constant traffic.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
We typically work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Common questions from Burnside of Duntrune clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Maryfield Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Burnside of Duntrune off your patch?
Not at all. Burnside of Duntrune is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For a building near Burnside of Duntrune, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in the majority of cases.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Cost factors for floor joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
Cost follows what’s involved: 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.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
