- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. If the edges look unsound, we will say so before any filling is done.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Questions about Grimness
Will you travel to Grimness on the island?
Yes, Grimness is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Must our site in Grimness stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What affects the price in Grimness
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
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.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Grimness. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- 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.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
