About our floor joint sealing in Clovenstone
Across Clovenstone and the rest of Edinburgh, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. We work on loading bays, construction joints and retail and showroom floors, and what we’re called in for most is broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Clovenstone tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Scotland’s cities have multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, university and hospital estates, all with movement joints in decks, floors and walls. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will our site in Clovenstone have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

What else we do in Clovenstone
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
Why deal with it now?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. 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. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Cost factors for floor joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Joints that move: notes for Clovenstone
Being in the east of Scotland, Clovenstone gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them. Less than 3 miles from Clovenstone there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these are full of saw-cut floor joints, yard slabs and car park joints.
At a retail site such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre (0.5 miles north-west of Clovenstone), joints in car parks, service yards and sales floors carry cars, cages and trolleys every day. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Dumbryden Industrial Estate (0.5 miles north of Clovenstone): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Large sites such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital (to the north of Clovenstone) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
