How we handle floor joint sealing in Bunnahabhain
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. Most enquiries involve grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and sealant pulled out along a truck route, across forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Bunnahabhain, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For outside joints near Bunnahabhain, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor
Around Bunnahabhain, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
At loading bays, product choice has to suit the loads, the temperature and the wet. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries so trafficked runs need a filler that holds the arrises.
Traffic, movement and joints around Bunnahabhain
With the shore within about 1 mile, Bunnahabhain counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Bunnahabhain gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
For floors and slabs around Bunnahabhain, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Early treatment protects wheels, loads and drivers as much as the floor.

Bunnahabhain: questions and answers
Do we have to stop operations in Bunnahabhain while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Is Bunnahabhain too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
