About our floor joint sealing in Rubha Ban
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. The enquiries we see most involve dock area joints that have failed first and brittle joint filler breaking up, on retail and showroom floors, loading bays and saw-cut induced joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Rubha Ban first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Rubha Ban, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
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 typically ends up dragged across the floor. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. 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.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Rubha Ban
Rubha Ban is within about 2 miles 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, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Being on an island, Rubha Ban means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
A joint near Rubha Ban that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Common questions from Rubha Ban clients
Our building in Rubha Ban 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 choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will our site in Rubha Ban have to close for joint sealing?
Normally not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. If the arrises have spalled, we will say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Rubha Ban
Small, hard wheels put a lot of load through a very small area. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
In and around Rubha Ban, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Rubha Ban is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Photograph any joint that starts to chip
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
