About our floor joint sealing in Sandness
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. 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. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. We work on loading bays, retail and showroom floors and saw-cut induced joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open saw cuts full of debris and sealant pulled out along a truck route. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Sandness from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Sandness: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Trucks running over open joints wear wheels and shake loads. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and protects the floor.
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Quoting for work in Sandness
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What happens if it’s left?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Sandness is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Related advice
Your questions answered
Does a site in Sandness 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.
Can you take on a job in Sandness, on the island?
Yes, Sandness is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
Problems inside the 12-month guarantee period are ours to put right. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
Warehouse floors and decks around Sandness
Sandness sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so it pays to keep them sealed. Work on Sandness has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Joint widths, lengths and the traffic over them help us bring the right fillers and sealants.
Once a joint near Sandness opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break. Around Sandness, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
