Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue

For outside joints near Ardrossan, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ardrossan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Questions about Ardrossan
Can being near the sea in Ardrossan affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is a smaller place like Ardrossan outside your area?
Not at all. Ardrossan is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Usually only the zone we are working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Ardrossan
Ardrossan lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. The west of Scotland, where Ardrossan is, gets more rain than the east. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
Places like Hawkhill Retail Park (to the east of Ardrossan) put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside. Large sites such as Woodland View (to the east of Ardrossan) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Different surfaces, different methods
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid filler is stiff enough to hold the arrises up when wheels cross. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here usually fail first so many programmes begin here.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardrossan
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it typically ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ardrossan. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

When to call us in Ardrossan
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
For a school such as Ardrossan Academy, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
