Floor joint sealing in Corkerhill
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. 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, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors, and what we are called in for most is unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Corkerhill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
FAQs: Corkerhill
Can you work at a site such as Craigton Industrial Estate, by Corkerhill?
Yes. We cover Corkerhill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Craigton Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ross Hall Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan are usually enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but 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 bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

A campus such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (to the north-east of Corkerhill) has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. At places like Rowan Business Park (1.7 miles north of Corkerhill), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

Common problems we fix in Corkerhill
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
Warehouse floors on estates like Craigton Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles to the north of Corkerhill, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. City jobs in Corkerhill typically need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Structural cracking in the slab
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Leave it or put it right?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. 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 quote.
