Floor joint sealing in Kincorth, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you have grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Kincorth, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older stone buildings in Scotland’s cities often have later extensions, with movement joints where old meets new. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
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.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kincorth
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Traffic, movement and joints around Kincorth
With the shore within about 2 miles, Kincorth counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The 3 miles around Kincorth take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Schools such as Lochside Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Garthdee Retail Park (0.6 miles west of Kincorth): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Kincorth is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. We cover Kincorth and the rest of Aberdeen, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Kincorth is one of 40 places in Aberdeen on our list for floor joints.
Anyone looking for floor joint sealing in AB12 and AB10 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. For a building on Laws Road, Deeside Lane and Gardner Road or nearby, we can quote for floor joints. Just outside Kincorth, we also work in Kaimhill (1 mile north-west), Broomhill (1 mile north-west), Garthdee (1 mile west), Ferryhill (1 mile north) and Charlestown (1 mile south). Bigger towns within reach include Berryden (3 miles north), Dyce (7 miles north-west), Tillydrone (3 miles north), Cults (3 miles west), Donside Village (4 miles north) and Cummings Park (3 miles north-west).
Around Kincorth
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Harlaw Academy and Duthie Park and the streets around them. Kincorth’s nearest station is Aberdeen station, roughly 1.6 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Aberdeen Trades Hospitals (1.9 miles north) and Union Square Aberdeen (1.7 miles north). The countryside around Kincorth includes Kincorth Hill and Upper Lake.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Kincorth
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
For an estate such as Albyn Hospital, 1.6 miles to the north of Kincorth, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed, and we will say which joints need what. Getting access arranged for a building in Kincorth takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected

FAQs: Kincorth
Does the sea air around Kincorth change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you take on work at estates like Kincorth Shopping Centre, close to Kincorth?
Yes, sites like Kincorth Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Kincorth. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
