Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Kames
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. If you have filler that has parted from one face and a rough ride across broken joints, we can help, on loading bays, construction joints and joints along racking aisles alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kames first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Kames is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Kames are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Kames: questions and answers
Must our site in Kames 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. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Our building in Kames is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is typically right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Why act early in Kames
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kames. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Kames
Kames sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Kames is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
For floors and slabs around Kames, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Once a joint near Kames opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

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.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
