On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. 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 agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached

If you are dealing with open saw cuts full of debris and cracked and crumbling joint fill, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Menzieshill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. They need the right movement class and correct width and depth to last.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors

What we’re called out for in Menzieshill
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
At a retail site such as Kingsway West Retail Park (1.8 miles north-east of Menzieshill), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. That is normally dealt with by topping up later and we’ll flag it at quote stage.
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Floor joint sealing in Menzieshill: the local picture
Menzieshill lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Menzieshill there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Ardyle Industrial Estate (0.8 miles north-east of Menzieshill): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Campuses like University of Dundee, 2.1 miles east of Menzieshill, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
General trades versus a 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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Menzieshill: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, by Menzieshill?
Yes. We cover Menzieshill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ninewells Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
