When to call us in Montrose
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings, as well as the tightest turning loads. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
At places like Forties Road Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north of Montrose, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Proof of insurance
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
About our floor joint sealing in Montrose
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracked and crumbling joint fill and joint fill separating from the concrete. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Montrose it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Montrose, as across Scotland, outside joints in car parks, ramps and walls take rain, frost and road salt. External joints are sealed on dry days warm enough for the product, so we plan with some flexibility.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Angus. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and saves the edges.

For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle while it is still a straightforward job.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Montrose
Montrose sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Montrose is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Schools such as Montrose Academy have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. If you manage units on an estate such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, which lies north of Montrose, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Questions we’re asked in Montrose
Will our site in Montrose have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Does your area include sites such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, near Montrose?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Montrose, Broomfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling, so you can decide how to proceed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Several buildings in and around Montrose can be done on one programme. Share your working hours and access arrangements and we’ll fit in.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Why it’s worth doing now in Montrose
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment before or alongside any coating work. In Montrose, rain and frost work into any failed joint, so small failures grow. Catch it early and it stays a sealant job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

- One contact handling all your sites
- Public liability insurance in place
