Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Every vehicle on a busy aisle hits a damaged joint. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Midlem. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- 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.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
What affects the price in Midlem
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Midlem?
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 rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- A rough ride across broken joints
Around Midlem, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Questions about Midlem
Do we have to stop operations in Midlem while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Is Midlem too far out for you?
Not at all. Midlem is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
