- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling

Floor joint sealing in Greenhill, done properly
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, with public liability insurance in place. Finished floor joints in Greenhill carry our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve a gap opening alongside old joint filler and dock area joints that have failed first, across retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greenhill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Industrial estates around Scotland’s cities hold warehouses, trade units and distribution sheds, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Common questions from Greenhill clients
Would you work within a site like Astley Ainslie Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Blackford Business Park, near Greenhill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Greenhill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Blackford Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Greenhill
Greenhill sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. 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. Greenhill has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Campuses like Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus (to the west of Greenhill) mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. Hospitals like Astley Ainslie Hospital (0.5 miles south-east of Greenhill) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and we clear our waste as we work. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Common problems we fix in Greenhill
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
For buildings at a park such as Blackford Business Park (0.9 miles south-east of Greenhill), brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
