Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Floor joint sealing in Gateside
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Applicators carry CSCS cards and work to your site rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Gateside carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are brittle joint filler breaking up and flexible sealant torn out by wheels.

Floor joint sealing around Gateside: how the place shapes the job
The east of Scotland, where Gateside is, gets less rain than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A joint near Gateside that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. Around Gateside, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Some construction joints have steel edge protection, others are plain concrete. We will tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Loading bays and dock areas
We typically work through dock areas a few bays at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gateside
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. For buildings near Gateside, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Common questions from Gateside clients
Will our site in Gateside have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Gateside?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
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. It is typically dealt with by topping up.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We’ll give you a time for each zone before we start.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
