About our floor joint sealing in Farr
Some joints reach us with their edges already broken. A filler laid against broken edges has nothing sound to grip, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and explain how it affects the programme. We work on forklift and pallet-truck routes, construction joints and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are drivers complaining about joints on a route and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Farr from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Farr is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Traffic, movement and joints around Farr
Farr is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
Hospitals like Raigmore Hospital, 6 miles north of Farr, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock. For floors and slabs around Farr, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Questions about Farr
Is a smaller place like Farr outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Raigmore Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
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 will confirm them with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Approximate metres of joint, photographs of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to set one up.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs near Farr are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What affects the price in Farr

- The site’s rules and procedures

A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What else we do in Farr
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints, and it’s worth enforcing. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. If the edges look unsound, we’ll say so before any filling is done.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
On industrial routes, a semi-rigid filler is often the right choice. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
Why deal with it now?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Farr before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
