About our floor joint sealing in Fowlis
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. We work on joints along racking aisles, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays, and what we are called in for most is cracked and crumbling joint fill and drivers complaining about joints on a route. Whoever orders the work in Fowlis, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller Scottish places like Fowlis, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Leave it or put it right?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Around smaller places like Fowlis, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Jobs near Fowlis are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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 extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Building owners, agents and FMs in Fowlis
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Is Fowlis too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
Quoting for work in Fowlis
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Fowlis
Fowlis is within about 3 miles of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Fowlis is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A healthcare site such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (to the east of Fowlis) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Dundee Technology Park (2.6 miles south-east of Fowlis): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Estates like Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Fowlis) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
