Your questions answered
Will our site in Galltair have to close for joint sealing?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can being near the sea in Galltair affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured, then we move to the next.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Floor joint sealing in Galltair
We have been sealing commercial joints since 2005. Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and the business is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Completed joints come with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and loading bays, and the failures we are asked to look at most are scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and joint fill separating from the concrete. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Galltair is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Galltair is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out, and we’ll say which joints need what. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Galltair. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Galltair, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Galltair
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and the saw cuts are there so it cracks in straight, controlled lines. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Dock area joints that have failed first
In and around Galltair, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Floor joint sealing in Galltair: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Galltair counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so it pays to keep them sealed. The west of Scotland, where Galltair is, gets more rain than the east. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
In a school such as Bernera School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
