About our floor joint sealing in Hill of Fearn
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are flexible sealant torn out by wheels and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hill of Fearn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Hill of Fearn: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Hill of Fearn before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

More services for Hill of Fearn
Different surfaces, different methods
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Main aisles and cross routes carry the most wheel movements and the joints on them break down first. A semi-rigid filler is common here because it supports the arrises under hard wheels.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. Joints here typically fail first so many programmes begin here.
Common questions from Hill of Fearn clients
Is a smaller place like Hill of Fearn outside your area?
No. Places such as Hill of Fearn are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Hill of Fearn affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Use our quote form, or email photographs and a plan and tell us what runs on the floor. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Hill of Fearn
Hill of Fearn sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Hill of Fearn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
For floors and slabs around Hill of Fearn, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Hill of Fearn, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hill of Fearn
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Dock area joints that have failed first
Estates like Cadboll Industrial Estate (2.4 miles east of Hill of Fearn) combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels.
