Floor joint sealing in An t-Ollach, done properly
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Most enquiries involve open saw cuts full of debris and sealant pulled out along a truck route, across loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in An t-Ollach tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like An t-Ollach, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

What else we do in An t-Ollach
How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Commercial clients in An t-Ollach
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around An t-Ollach. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in An t-Ollach
An t-Ollach lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being in the west of Scotland, An t-Ollach gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For floors and slabs around An t-Ollach, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. For an estate such as Portree Hospital (4.1 miles north-west of An t-Ollach), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.

Common questions from An t-Ollach clients
Is a hospital such as Portree Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the sea air around An t-Ollach change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work in An t-Ollach?
Yes. An t-Ollach is in our area and the rest of Highland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
