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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
Floor joint sealing in Dawsholm, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. Most enquiries involve scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Most enquiries from Dawsholm start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Dawsholm as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Related advice
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why act early in Dawsholm
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. Wheels and bearings wear faster and loads can shift, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Being in the west of Scotland, Dawsholm gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas.

What affects the price in Dawsholm
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. That is normally dealt with by topping up later, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
