Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode

Floor joint sealing in North Queensferry
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. Most enquiries involve saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, across loading bays, saw-cut induced joints 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: on jobs in North Queensferry, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like North Queensferry is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in North Queensferry as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in North Queensferry
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is typically where joint failure starts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- A rough ride across broken joints
In a school such as Queensferry High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

What sealant work can’t fix

Joints that move: notes for North Queensferry
With the shore within about 1 mile, North Queensferry counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of North Queensferry. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
At places like St David's Business Park, which lies north-east of North Queensferry, joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on. Warehouse floors on estates like Belleknowes Industrial Estate (2 miles north of North Queensferry) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Questions about North Queensferry
Is a hospital such as Hopetoun House somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is North Queensferry too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
