In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. Those joints need a sealant with the right movement capability, sized to the gap.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
Flexible floor sealants
Movement joints, joints at walls and joints in lightly trafficked areas often take a flexible sealant. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does a coastal location like Warriston affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Joints that move: notes for Warriston
Warriston is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Warriston is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Business parks such as Beaverbank Business Park, less than half a mile to the south-east of Warriston, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints. For a centre such as St. James Centre (1.1 miles south-east of Warriston), the service yard and car park joints usually need attention first.
Warriston is about 2 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Warriston for work on floor joints. Warriston is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Warriston
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is usually where joint failure starts.
Look out for the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- A rough ride across broken joints
Hospitals like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh), 1.4 miles to the west of Warriston, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
