Floor joint sealing across Cromarty

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Surface by surface

Saw-cut induced joints

Sawn joints make up most of the joint length in a typical industrial floor. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.

Semi-rigid joint fillers

Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.

Floor joint sealing in Cromarty

Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you have joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Cromarty? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Around smaller Scottish places like Cromarty, 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 with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after the joints

After handover, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
  • Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
  • Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
  • Clear packed debris from open joints regularly

A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.

While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Warehouse floors and decks around Cromarty

Cromarty sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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 Cromarty is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. Dry spells are used for the external joints.

A healthcare site such as County Community Hospital, 4.4 miles to the west of Cromarty, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In and around Cromarty, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Cromarty is about 9 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Cromarty can call on us for floor joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Cromarty. We also cover Aberdeen, some 80 miles away.

Commercial sites across IV11 are covered. For a building on High Street, Allan Square and Denoon Place or nearby, we can quote for floor joints. Access to Cromarty is via the A832 and B9163 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Just outside Cromarty, we also work in Nigg (3 miles north), Davidston (3 miles south-west), Pitcalnie (3 miles north), Barbaraville (4 miles north-west) and Kilmuir (4 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Nairn (9 miles south-east), Cradlehall (14 miles south), Tain (9 miles north), Alness (8 miles west), Dornoch (14 miles north) and Invergordon (5 miles west). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

FAQs: Cromarty

Is Cromarty too small for you to travel to?

No. Places such as Cromarty are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can being near the sea in Cromarty affect the sealant we need?

It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.

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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

What do you need from us to quote?

Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

How long before trucks can use the joints?

Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Cromarty with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

  1. First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
  3. Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
  4. Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
  5. We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
  6. We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.

What we need from you

  • Flag any permit to work we’ll need
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Send your site hours and access windows

Advice

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
  • A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
  • A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Construction joints
  • Saw-cut induced joints
