Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Chapel of Garioch
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles, as well as the tightest turning loads. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Brittle joint filler breaking up

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Surface by surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
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.
Joints that move: notes for Chapel of Garioch
Chapel of Garioch is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
In and around Chapel of Garioch, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
