Commercial clients in Granton
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Granton can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Floor joint sealing in Granton
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. If you have drivers complaining about joints on a route and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, we can put it right, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Granton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Scotland’s cities have multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, university and hospital estates, all with movement joints in decks, floors and walls. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Quoting for work in Granton
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Granton, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- 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.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Joints that move: notes for Granton
Granton is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Granton. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
In a school such as Ainslie Park High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load

FAQs: Granton
Can you work at a site such as Broompark Business Park, by Granton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Granton, Broompark Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh) somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Leave it or put it right?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. In Granton, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
