Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Keiss
Keiss lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being in the east of Scotland, Keiss gets less rain than the west coast. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Around Keiss, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. A joint near Keiss that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.
Keiss is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Across the KW1 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Commercial sites across KW1 are covered. Streets here include High Street, South Street and Robertson Crescent, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. If your building is just outside Keiss, we cover Reiss (4 miles south), Ackergillshore (4 miles south), Hastigrow (5 miles west), Staxigoe (6 miles south-east) and Haster (6 miles south). 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.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so we choose something that tolerates them.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
How the job changes by surface
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane floor sealants are available in a range of colours so ask if the colour matters.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Keiss
Is Keiss too far out for you?
Not at all. Keiss is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Our building in Keiss is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to set one up.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you send site paperwork?
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.
Quoting for work in Keiss
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs near Keiss are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
