Floor joint sealing in Inverinate
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. That tells us whether semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant suits each run, area by area where it needs to be. We work on loading bays, joints along racking aisles and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are drivers complaining about joints on a route and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Inverinate is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Inverinate: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start so nothing has to move unexpectedly.

What else we do in Inverinate
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Inverinate change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Inverinate off your patch?
Not at all. Inverinate is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.

Floor joint sealing around Inverinate: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Inverinate. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Inverinate is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Once a joint near Inverinate opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break. In and around Inverinate, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

What shapes the price:
- How much existing material needs removing

Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Inverinate is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
