How we handle floor joint sealing in Ardheisker
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. The enquiries we see most involve open saw cuts full of debris and cracked and crumbling joint fill, across joints along racking aisles, loading bays and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ardheisker? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller places such as Ardheisker, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Work we carry out in Na h-Eileanan Siar comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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 we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Traffic, movement and joints around Ardheisker
Ardheisker sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. For an island location such as Ardheisker, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
In and around Ardheisker, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Your questions answered
Do we have to stop operations in Ardheisker while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Does the sea air around Ardheisker change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will we need to close the floor?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Ardheisker are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common problems we fix in Ardheisker
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Around Ardheisker, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Before you book anyone
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
