About our floor joint sealing in Gergask
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: joint widths, whether the joints are still opening, what runs over them and how the edges have held up. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. Most enquiries involve failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and drivers complaining about joints on a route, across saw-cut induced joints, construction joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gergask it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gergask, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Gergask: questions and answers
Is Gergask too far out for you?
Not at all. Gergask is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will our site in Gergask have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
Send details through our quote form or by email and tell us what runs on the floor. A fixed quote follows with the product and phasing set out.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Gergask can form part of a wider programme across Highland.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Floor joint sealing around Gergask: how the place shapes the job
Gergask is on Scotland’s wetter western side. 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.
For floors and slabs around Gergask, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Gergask is about 31 miles south of Inverness, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Gergask, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Gergask is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for floor joints. We also cover Dundee, around 62 miles from Gergask.

Nearby places we also cover include Laggan (1 mile south-east), Etteridge (5 miles east), Dalwhinnie (6 miles south), Newtonmore (7 miles north-east) and Kingussie (10 miles north-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gergask
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gergask before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, 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.

Common problems we fix in Gergask
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris, and repeated impacts break the concrete away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
Around Gergask, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
