Floor joint sealing in Tarves: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Tarves gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
In and around Tarves, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Around Tarves, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What affects the price in Tarves
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
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.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Tarves: questions and answers
Is Tarves off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to stop operations in Tarves while the joints are sealed?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows that shows the products and zones.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs near Tarves are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.

What happens if it’s left?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled, with longer closures to match. For buildings near Tarves, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
