The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Floor joint sealing in Thornhill, done properly
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and what we are called in for most is flexible sealant torn out by wheels and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Thornhill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Thornhill: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Thornhill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site

Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
For floors and slabs around Thornhill, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
Questions about Thornhill
What site paperwork comes with a job in Thornhill?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Thornhill too small for you to travel to?
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 you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will we need to close the floor?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
