What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Motherwell
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. Most enquiries involve unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and a rough ride across broken joints, on construction joints, loading bays and retail and showroom floors. Whoever orders the work in Motherwell, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Motherwell, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. In a Scottish town such as Motherwell, outside work is planned around the weather and inside work around the occupants. Photos or drawings let us give a fixed quote and a realistic plan.
- 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.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Questions we are asked in Motherwell
Does your area include sites such as Braidhurst Industrial Estate, near Motherwell?
Yes. Our area takes in Motherwell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Braidhurst Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will our site in Motherwell have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first, so you can decide how to proceed.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What affects the price in Motherwell
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Why it’s worth doing now in Motherwell
Open joints are where dirt collects where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. If one joint has failed on a building in Motherwell, its neighbours, laid at the same time, may not be far off. One programme for all of them saves time.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.

Warehouse floors and decks around Motherwell
Being in the east of Scotland, Motherwell gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them. Less than 3 miles from Motherwell there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
For a centre such as Brandon Shopping Centre, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Motherwell, the service yard and car park joints typically need attention first. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Orbiston Business Park (0.9 miles south of Motherwell): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For a school such as Braidhurst High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
