Floor joint sealing in Bragar, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays 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. The enquiries we see most involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and joint fill separating from the concrete, on loading bays, saw-cut induced joints and retail and showroom floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bragar it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Bragar, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Bragar
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Bragar
Will our site in Bragar have to close for joint sealing?
Usually not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is Bragar inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Bragar included. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What about RAMS and site documents?
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, 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. Jobs near Bragar 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.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Why it’s worth doing now in Bragar
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bragar. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Public liability insurance in place

Joints that move: notes for Bragar
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Bragar. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Bragar is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Once a joint near Bragar opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break. Around Bragar, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

- Access details, including height

- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
