Floor joint sealing near Tullos

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
  • Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
  • A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job

If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work in Tullos

  • Forklift and pallet-truck routes

How we handle floor joint sealing in Tullos

We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get, and the quote is fixed before we mobilise. If you have unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose, we can put it right, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tullos from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

For outside joints near Tullos, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: 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.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Quoting for work in Tullos

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • The total length or number of joints
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • How accessible the joints are

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Before you send an enquiry

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

Aftercare for building managers

Once the work is signed off, these steps help:

  • Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
  • Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
  • Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
  • Hold traffic back until the product has cured

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.

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.

On site: what to expect

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Tullos, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

  1. We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
  2. You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
  3. Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
  4. We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
  5. The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
  6. We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.

Before we start on site

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Ask for a quote

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Owners, agents and contractors

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Tullos can form part of a wider programme.

What happens if it’s left?

An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Tullos, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.

A quote for floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Tullos: questions and answers

Would you work within a site like Albyn Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

Is Tullos off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Is colour matching possible?

Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

When can forklifts run over new joint filler?

The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.

Joints that move: notes for Tullos

Tullos lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. The east of Scotland, where Tullos is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.

A campus such as Robert Gordon University, 1.8 miles north-west of Tullos, has long runs of movement joint in its buildings, decks and paving. Across sites such as West Tullos Industrial Estate, less than half a mile west of Tullos, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Centres like Balnagask Retail Park (to the north-west of Tullos) have mall floors and service decks whose joints carry steady traffic.

Tullos is about 1 mile south-east of Ferryhill, in Aberdeen. Across the AB12 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Tullos is one of 40 places in Aberdeen on our list.

We cover the AB12 and AB11 postcode districts. For a building on Minto Avenue, Hillview Road and Kirkhill Road or nearby, we can quote for floor joints. Nearby places we also cover include Altens (1 mile south), Balnagask (1 mile north-east), Torry (1 mile north), Cove Bay (1 mile south) and Footdee (1 mile north). A short drive away, we cover Aberdeen (3 miles north-west), Berryden (3 miles north-west), Dyce (7 miles north-west), Tillydrone (3 miles north), Cults (4 miles west) and Donside Village (4 miles north).
