Why deal with it now?
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment, whether or not the floor is coated. For buildings near Acharacle, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Public liability insurance in place
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Acharacle, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Common questions from Acharacle clients
Will our site in Acharacle have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Is a smaller place like Acharacle outside your area?
No. Places such as Acharacle are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. A top-up normally puts it right.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
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.
Traffic, movement and joints around Acharacle
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Acharacle. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Acharacle is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
In and around Acharacle, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. Around Acharacle, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
