Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Gauldry
Across Gauldry and the rest of Fife, it runs the same way: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you’re dealing with unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and filler that has parted from one face, we can help, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Gauldry it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller places such as Gauldry, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
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:

- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Is Gauldry too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Gauldry are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Dundee Dental Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Gauldry, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Gauldry
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Gauldry. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Gauldry is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Hospital campuses such as Dundee Dental Hospital (to the north of Gauldry) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. University campuses such as University of Dundee, 4 miles north of Gauldry, have car parks, paved walkways and building elevations with movement joints.

Surface by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
