About our floor joint sealing in Lochranza
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. Most enquiries involve drivers complaining about joints on a route and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, across loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lochranza tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Lochranza: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Lochranza as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochranza
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. Neither is made to carry wheels, and it usually ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

When to call us in Lochranza
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A rough ride across broken joints
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
A joint near Lochranza that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Your questions answered
Does a site in Lochranza have to shut while its joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Does the sea air around Lochranza change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. We will give you a time for each zone before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Lochranza with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- 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.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Joints that move: notes for Lochranza
Lochranza sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochranza gets more rain than eastern areas. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
In and around Lochranza, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
