Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
About our floor joint sealing in Forth
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you are dealing with scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and cracked and crumbling joint fill, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Forth, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Forth, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. We place them to depth and trim them level with the slab.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Truck routes take traffic all day, so their joints wear fastest. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Forth: questions and answers
Does a site in Forth have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Forth too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan let us give a quick quote. We can visit where that helps so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Forth. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
