Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth, finishing flush with the slab.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here normally fail first so many programmes begin here.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in An t-Ob
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. 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. We work on saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and loading bays, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are filler that has parted from one face and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in An t-Ob is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller Scottish places like An t-Ob, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions we’re asked in An t-Ob
Does a site in An t-Ob have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is An t-Ob inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, An t-Ob is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Building owners, agents and FMs in An t-Ob
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Warehouse floors and decks around An t-Ob
With the shore within about 1 mile, An t-Ob counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Work on An t-Ob has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
Once a joint near An t-Ob opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break.

What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we will tell you if so)
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Construction joints
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. Around smaller places like An t-Ob, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in An t-Ob
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a stiff filler in a joint that keeps moving splits or comes away from the sides.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
In and around An t-Ob, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
