How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Leachkin, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints

Floor joint sealing in Leachkin
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. The enquiries we see most involve failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, on saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Leachkin, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Leachkin, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Leachkin?
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. They are often the first on a site to break down.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
For estates staff at a university like University of the Highlands & Islands, 1.6 miles east of Leachkin, building and paving joints are part of the planned maintenance list.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- 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 the product suits them.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Saw-cut induced joints
Saw cuts are made soon after the slab is cast so shrinkage cracks follow a line. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. We look at how much they are moving before choosing the treatment.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Floors, slabs and movement joints in Leachkin
Leachkin sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Less than 3 miles from Leachkin there are at least three named estates and business parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Schools like Inverness High School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Retail sites such as Telford Retail Park (1.3 miles north-east of Leachkin) have car park, service yard and shop floor joints under constant traffic.
Leachkin is about 2 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. Across the IV3 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.

Common questions from Leachkin clients
Is Leachkin off your patch?
Not at all. Leachkin is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Telford Retail Park, close to Leachkin?
Yes, sites like Telford Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Leachkin. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
