Floor joint sealing in An Tairbeart, done properly
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you’re dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can help, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in An Tairbeart, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like An Tairbeart, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in An Tairbeart
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near An Tairbeart. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in An Tairbeart
With the shore within about 2 miles, An Tairbeart counts as a coastal location. 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. An Tairbeart is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
A joint near An Tairbeart that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.

Common problems we fix in An Tairbeart
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses so the arrises break sooner.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
For floors and slabs around An Tairbeart, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Your questions answered
Is An Tairbeart too far out for you?
Not at all. An Tairbeart is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must our site in An Tairbeart stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are typically enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange it.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What the job involves on each surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
