Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Arabella change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Arabella too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will we need to close the floor?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to set one up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Arabella
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so we will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and explain how it affects the programme. If you have unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Arabella first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller Scottish places like Arabella, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Floor joint sealing in Arabella: the local picture
Arabella sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The west of Scotland, where Arabella is, gets more rain than the east. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Around Arabella, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first. In and around Arabella, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Arabella is about 13 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. We cover Arabella, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Commercial sites across IV19 are covered for floor joints. If your building is just outside Arabella, we cover Hill of Fearn (2 miles north-east), Fearn (2 miles north-east), Pitcalnie (2 miles south), Kildary (2 miles west) and Nigg (3 miles south). A short drive away, we cover Nairn (13 miles south), Tain (4 miles north-west), Alness (10 miles south-west), Dornoch (9 miles north), Invergordon (8 miles south-west) and Fortrose (13 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Near you in Arabella
Arabella’s nearest station is Fearn station, about 1.5 miles north. A little further out are Milntown Castle (2.6 miles south-west). Open spaces near Arabella include Loch Eye.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
Commercial clients in Arabella
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Arabella is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

What affects the price in Arabella
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
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 will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Structural cracking in the slab
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
Leave it or put it right?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Arabella before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
