Joints that move: notes for Munlochy
Munlochy is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. Being in the west of Scotland, Munlochy gets more rain than eastern areas. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Dry spells are used for the external joints.
For floors and slabs around Munlochy, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Sites like Royal Northern Infirmary (to the south of Munlochy) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Munlochy is about 6 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We send applicators to Munlochy for floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Munlochy is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for floor joints.
We cover the IV8 postcode districts for floor joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Station Road, Cameron Drive and Brae Terrace. We also cover North Kessock (3 miles south), Charlestown (3 miles south), Avoch (3 miles east), Killen (3 miles north-east) and Culbokie (4 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Inverness (6 miles south), Nairn (15 miles east), Cradlehall (7 miles south-east), Merkinch (5 miles south), Dingwall (7 miles north-west) and Hilton (6 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Floor joint sealing in Munlochy, done properly
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Each crossing knocks the unsupported edge, and over time a neat cut turns into a ragged channel. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. If you have flexible sealant torn out by wheels and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Munlochy 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.
In smaller places such as Munlochy, the joints we’re asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

FAQs: Munlochy
Is Munlochy too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Munlochy affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You will see the choice for each area in the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why deal with it now?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Munlochy. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Surface by surface
Construction joints
Construction joints, sometimes called day joints, mark where one pour ended and the next began. They often see more movement than sawn joints, and that shapes the product choice.
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. We clear them back to clean concrete and fill them to the depth the product calls for, finishing flush with the slab.
