What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They can move more than saw cuts and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and protects the floor.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Ardeer are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Cost factors for floor joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints that move: notes for Ardeer
Ardeer sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Ardeer. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Another example is Hawkhill Retail Park (1.3 miles north of Ardeer), where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. On industrial estates such as Stevenston Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the north-west of Ardeer, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
Ardeer is about 1 mile south-east of Stevenston, in North Ayrshire. Our applicators travel to Ardeer for work on floor joints. 54 places across North Ayrshire fall within our area, Ardeer among them. Sites around Glasgow have their own page, about 24 miles away.

Questions about Ardeer
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ayrshire Central Hospital?
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.
Will you take on work at estates like Stevenston Industrial Estate, close to Ardeer?
Yes. We cover Ardeer and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stevenston Industrial Estate. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
