How we handle floor joint sealing in Salen
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes and unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Salen, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Salen: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Cost factors for floor joints
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Common questions from Salen clients
Does a coastal location like Salen 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.
Do we have to stop operations in Salen while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Salen. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Salen with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close

What happens if it’s left?
Broken joints shake trucks, stock and operators alike. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A properly filled joint smooths the route. Around smaller places like Salen, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas and keeps on top of the rest.
Joints that move: notes for Salen
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Salen. 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, Salen gets more rain than eastern areas. Rainwater through open yard and deck joints is a bigger issue here than in the drier east. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Around Salen, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first. Around Salen, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

How the job changes by surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. A flexible product suits them better than a stiff filler.
