Floor joint sealing in Kyle of Lochalsh, done properly
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you’re dealing with drivers complaining about joints on a route and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help. Most enquiries from Kyle of Lochalsh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kyle of Lochalsh, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.

Traffic, movement and joints around Kyle of Lochalsh
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Kyle of Lochalsh. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Kyle of Lochalsh is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Schools like Lochalsh School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly.

Common questions from Kyle of Lochalsh clients
Does a site in Kyle of Lochalsh have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Usually 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.
Is a smaller place like Kyle of Lochalsh outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.

- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Kyle of Lochalsh
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split especially under daily scrubbing and traffic. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
Look out for the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
In and around Kyle of Lochalsh, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

What the job involves on each surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the appearance is part of the brief.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
