Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
A route joint has to take repeated wheel strikes without breaking up. We match the product to the wheel types and the traffic.
FAQs: Strichen
Will our site in Strichen have to close for joint sealing?
Usually 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 will plan from there.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Maud Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Typically only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you cover Strichen?
Yes. Strichen is in our area and the rest of Aberdeenshire. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote 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.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Strichen
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
Hospitals like Maud Hospital, 4.9 miles south of Strichen, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Quoting for work in Strichen
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Strichen, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
