How we handle floor joint sealing in Ardchonnell
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about joint fill separating from the concrete and untidy open joints in a retail unit, across joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ardchonnell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller Scottish places like Ardchonnell, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common problems we fix in Ardchonnell

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors

- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Around Ardchonnell, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Joints on busy routes need a fill that sits flush and resists impact. We match the product to the wheel types and the traffic.
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They are narrow but open up as the panels shrink so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.

Ardchonnell: questions and answers
Will our site in Ardchonnell have to close for joint sealing?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Ardchonnell off your patch?
Not at all. Ardchonnell is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we hold public liability insurance.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ardchonnell. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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 sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why deal with it now?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. In shops, showrooms and clean production areas that matters for hygiene and appearance. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Ardchonnell, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Ardchonnell

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. After that, a check before your busiest period keeps small repairs small.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
