Floor joint sealing near Geirinis
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photographs so changes are easy to compare.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Geirinis
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Site teams most often ask us about old filler gone hard, cracked or loose and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, on forklift and pallet-truck routes, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Geirinis, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For outside joints near Geirinis, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Geirinis: questions and answers
Do you work on the island where Geirinis is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Geirinis included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Must our site in Geirinis stop work while the joints are done?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What do you need from us to quote?
Approximate metres of joint, photos of typical and worst areas, and a floor plan are typically enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange it.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Geirinis can form part of a wider programme across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Geirinis with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
What we are called out for in Geirinis
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
In and around Geirinis, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with

Other services in Geirinis
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Geirinis
Geirinis sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Geirinis is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
Once a joint near Geirinis opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
