Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Ardwell can form part of a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Floor joint sealing in Ardwell
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, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on loading bays, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and brittle joint filler breaking up. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ardwell tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller Scottish places like Ardwell, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Warehouse floors and decks around Ardwell
Ardwell 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 it pays to keep them sealed. Ardwell is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
A joint near Ardwell that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. For floors and slabs around Ardwell, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What else we do in Ardwell
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints are where dirt collects, out of reach of the floor cleaner. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Different surfaces, different methods
Retail and showroom floors
Polished and coated concrete floors in shops and showrooms show every joint. We aim for a tidy, flush finish that suits the floor and confirm which colours the product comes in.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements and the joints on them break down first. Semi-rigid fillers are widely used on these routes to hold the edges up.
FAQs: Ardwell
Do we have to stop operations in Ardwell while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Does a coastal location like Ardwell affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Ardwell, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
