How we handle floor joint sealing in Shandon
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you’re dealing with dock area joints that have failed first and a rough ride across broken joints, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Shandon, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Shandon is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
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.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Getting it filled stops the damage while it is still a straightforward job.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Shandon
Shandon sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being in the west of Scotland, Shandon 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.
A healthcare site such as Victoria Infirmary (to the south-east of Shandon) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In and around Shandon, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. For buildings near Shandon, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
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.

Shandon: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Victoria Infirmary?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Shandon off your patch?
No. Places such as Shandon are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
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. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
