Lochmaddy: questions and answers
Our building in Lochmaddy 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. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Lochmaddy inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Lochmaddy is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Floor joint sealing in Lochmaddy, done properly
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. 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, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are dock area joints that have failed first and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose. For commercial sealant work in Lochmaddy, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Lochmaddy, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Lochmaddy as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lochmaddy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Advice
Cost factors for floor joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
Pricing floor joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Lochmaddy
With the shore within about 1 mile, Lochmaddy counts as a coastal location. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being on an island, Lochmaddy means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Send joint sizes and details of the traffic so the right materials come on the crossing.
Around Lochmaddy, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go.
Lochmaddy (Gaelic: Loch nam Madadh) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS6, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
We cover the HS6 postcode districts for floor joints. Just outside Lochmaddy, we also work in Clachan Shannda (5 miles north-west), Locheport (6 miles south-west), Ruisgarry (8 miles north), Claddach Kirkibost (9 miles west) and Leverburgh (12 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt and spillage gather in open joints where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Filled joints are far simpler to keep clean. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Lochmaddy, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When to call us in Lochmaddy
Loading bay joints are exposed to wind, wet tyres and bigger temperature swings on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Look out for the following:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
Around Lochmaddy, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Different surfaces, different methods
Construction joints
Where a day joint crosses a truck route, its edges take heavy punishment. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
