Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Skye of Curr
Forklifts and pallet trucks are hard on open joints. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. Filling the joint properly gives the edges back their support. It also smooths the route for drivers and stock. Site teams most often ask us about broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and loading bay joints breaking down, on retail and showroom floors, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Skye of Curr, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Skye of Curr, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Skye of Curr
Skye of Curr is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
Hospital campuses such as Ian Charles Community Hospital, 4 miles north-east of Skye of Curr, grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old. Around Skye of Curr, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours, and we will confirm what the specified product offers.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Perimeter and column joints get forgotten, and they collect dust and debris. We record them with the rest of the floor joints.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Retail and showroom floors
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

FAQs: Skye of Curr
Is Skye of Curr off your patch?
Not at all. Skye of Curr is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ian Charles Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Let us know what the floor is cleaned with
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first, with more downtime and more disruption.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Skye of Curr is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- Each phase reopens when the product is ready for wheels, then we start the next.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
