Floor joint sealing in St Mary's
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, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. If you’re dealing with scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor and flexible sealant torn out by wheels, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in St Mary's is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like St Mary's, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Orkney Islands. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first while the rest of the floor carries on. For buildings near St Mary's, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in St Mary's
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
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.
Warehouse floors and decks around St Mary's
With the shore within about 1 mile, St Mary's counts as a coastal location. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Work on St Mary's 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.
In and around St Mary's, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. A healthcare site such as Balfour Hospital, 5.8 miles north of St Mary's, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
St Mary's is about 6 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our applicators travel to St Mary's for work on floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, including St Mary's.
Commercial sites across KW17 are covered. Buildings on Station Square, St Mary's Road and Storehouse Place are within our area. We also cover Upper Sanday (3 miles east), Burray Village (4 miles south), Toab (4 miles north-east), Grimness (5 miles south) and St Margaret's Hope (5 miles south) for floor joints. St Mary's is one of the busier places in the Orkney Islands, and we take on floor joints for its commercial and public buildings. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

Commercial clients in St Mary's
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. Tell us about aggressive cleaning products or hot washing at quote stage so the product suits them.
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.
Your questions answered
Is St Mary's inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as St Mary's. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Would you work within a site like Balfour Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. The quote sets out what goes where.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
