Floor joint sealing in An t-Àth Leathann, done properly
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and leave that decision with you. If you have sealant pulled out along a truck route and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints, we can put it right. Most enquiries from An t-Àth Leathann start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For outside joints near An t-Àth Leathann, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in An t-Àth Leathann as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from An t-Àth Leathann clients
Is An t-Àth Leathann off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Broadford Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in An t-Àth Leathann
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. Around smaller places like An t-Àth Leathann, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in the majority of cases.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
Floor joint sealing in An t-Àth Leathann: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from An t-Àth Leathann. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being in the west of Scotland, An t-Àth Leathann gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
In and around An t-Àth Leathann, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Advice
When to call us in An t-Àth Leathann
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up and the edges fail regardless. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
Sites like Broadford Hospital (to the north of An t-Àth Leathann) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
