What else we do in Scatness
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Surface by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
For trafficked warehouse joints, semi-rigid fillers are common. They are installed to the depth the manufacturer specifies and finished flush.
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Scatness
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Wait until the edges have spalled and the concrete needs repairing before the joint can be filled which means more downtime in that zone. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Questions we are asked in Scatness
Must our site in Scatness stop work while the joints are done?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
Do you work on the island where Scatness is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Scatness included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
It depends on the traffic and the movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes usually need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges and joints with more movement take a flexible sealant.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Construction joints
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Scatness
Scatness is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. For an island location such as Scatness, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Send joint sizes and details of the traffic so the right materials come on the crossing.
Around Scatness, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves. Around Scatness, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
