How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Drumsturdy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- 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.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Floor joint sealing in Drumsturdy, done properly
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. If you have a rough ride across broken joints and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Drumsturdy tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Drumsturdy: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts, and that shapes the product choice.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Why it’s worth doing now in Drumsturdy
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. 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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Drumsturdy. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Drumsturdy
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

Questions we’re asked in Drumsturdy
Can you work at a site such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, by Drumsturdy?
Yes, sites like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Drumsturdy. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Drumsturdy outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
