Floor joint sealing in Ninewells
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Ninewells carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ninewells, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, each with saw-cut and construction joints under forklifts and pallet trucks. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
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 we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so we choose something that tolerates them.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.
Joints that move: notes for Ninewells
Ninewells sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being in the east of Scotland, Ninewells gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
At a retail site such as Kingsway West Retail Park (2.1 miles north-east of Ninewells), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. Hospitals like Ninewells Hospital, less than half a mile north-east of Ninewells, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. Across sites such as Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Ninewells, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. City jobs in Ninewells usually need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- 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.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Getting access arranged for a building in Ninewells takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
