About our floor joint sealing in Kelvinhaugh
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on retail and showroom floors, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kelvinhaugh from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Kelvinhaugh while the joints are sealed?
In most 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 cover business parks and estates near Kelvinhaugh, such as Finnieston Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kelvinhaugh, Finnieston Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you work in Kelvinhaugh?
Yes. Kelvinhaugh is in our area and the rest of Glasgow, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kelvinhaugh
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For premises in Kelvinhaugh, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- 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.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
