Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Steinis
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Steinis. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Less than 3 miles from Steinis there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Sites like Western Isles Hospital, 1.3 miles west of Steinis, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. If you manage units on an estate such as Parkend Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south of Steinis, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Gleann Seileach Business Park (1.9 miles west of Steinis): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

What else we do in Steinis
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints.
On a multi-storey car park, a failed joint usually shows up as a leak onto the deck underneath. Salty water dripping through stains soffits and lands on parked vehicles and it can affect the structure over time. Resealing early limits the damage.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Blockwork control joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Cladding panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Precast concrete panel joints
How the job changes by surface
Podium joints
Podium decks are exposed and often trafficked. We choose a product that copes with feet, wheels and weather.
Cladding panel joints
Access to cladding joints is agreed before the price is fixed. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately, or we visit if they don’t show enough.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs near Steinis are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- You receive a fixed quote stating the product and the movement it is rated for.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Ask for a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
Quoting for work in Steinis
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions about Steinis
Is Parkend Industrial Estate, near Steinis, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Steinis and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Parkend Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work on the island where Steinis is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Steinis. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What if the joint edges are damaged?
A bond is only as strong as the material behind it, so we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing before sealing. Where it’s visible beforehand, we’ll say so when we quote.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. Tyre loads, grit and de-icing salts make these some of the hardest joints to keep sealed.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Steinis can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
