What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start, with longer closures to match. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Markethill before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Other services in Markethill
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we’ll arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Markethill, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints at walls and columns are often missed when floors are sealed and fill up with dirt. We include them in the survey.
Markethill: questions and answers
Is Markethill off your patch?
No. Places such as Markethill are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will our site in Markethill have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Markethill?
Soft sealant in a heavily trafficked joint gives the edges little support and the edges fail regardless. It can go the other way too: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
Hospital campuses such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital (4.6 miles north-west of Markethill) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Proof of insurance
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
