How we handle floor joint sealing in Lochgilphead
Across Lochgilphead and the rest of Argyll and Bute, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you have brittle joint filler breaking up and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lochgilphead first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For outside joints near Lochgilphead, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Lochgilphead clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Argyll and Bute Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Kilmory Industrial Estate, by Lochgilphead?
Yes, sites like Kilmory Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lochgilphead. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you cover Lochgilphead?
Yes. We cover Lochgilphead, and the simplest way to start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.

What else we do in Lochgilphead
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Lochgilphead
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint is a modest filling job while its edges are sound. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. For buildings near Lochgilphead, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- One number for every site we cover
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What we’re called out for in Lochgilphead
Older fills harden, shrink and crack with age, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. At that point it neither holds the edges nor keeps debris out.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
Hospitals like The Argyll and Bute Hospital, 0.9 miles east of Lochgilphead, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. These are often the first joints on site to break down, so they are often the place to start.
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.
What affects the price in Lochgilphead
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Warehouse floors and decks around Lochgilphead
Lochgilphead sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochgilphead gets more rain than eastern areas. 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.
If you manage units on an estate such as Kilmory Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Lochgilphead, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch. In a school such as Lochgilphead High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.
