Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Shandwick with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Shandwick
Pallet-truck and forklift wheels concentrate weight on a tiny contact patch. Crossing an open joint, the wheel drops and knocks the opposite arris and those knocks chip the edge apart bit by bit.
Look out for the following:
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
Around Shandwick, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
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.

Warehouse floors and decks around Shandwick
With the shore within about 1 mile, Shandwick counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Shandwick is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
If you manage units on an estate such as Cadboll Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north of Shandwick, the floor joints under forklifts and pallet trucks and the slab joints in the yard are the ones to watch.

Quoting for work in Shandwick
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Yes, sites like Cadboll Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Shandwick. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
