Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
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, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Floor joint sealing in Stow
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles, and what we’re called in for most is failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and filler that has parted from one face. Whoever orders the work in Stow, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Stow: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
Stow: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Stow outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Stow?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing in Stow: the local picture
Stow is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Once a joint near Stow opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break. For floors and slabs around Stow, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Stow, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
