How we handle floor joint sealing in Strachan
Not every floor joint we treat is in a warehouse. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. If you have untidy open joints in a retail unit and a gap opening alongside old joint filler, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Strachan, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Strachan, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Traffic, movement and joints around Strachan
Strachan is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.

When to call us in Strachan
Joints near dock doors see colder air, rain blown in and water off vehicles on top of the heaviest turning movements. That is normally where joint failure starts.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
For floors and slabs around Strachan, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs near Strachan are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- A fixed quote follows, listing the treatment for each area and the order of work.
- Each joint is cleared of old fill and dirt and taken back to clean, sound edges.
- Dust is extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Your questions answered
Is Strachan too far out for you?
No. Places such as Strachan are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Glen O'Dee Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will we need to close the floor?
In most cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How soon can traffic go back on the floor?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You will get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement so timing matters on newer slabs.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. A filled joint lets wheels roll across and saves the edges.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Hold traffic back until the product has cured
- Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time if it keeps happening.
Treating joints while the arrises are sound keeps the work simple. After the edges go, repairs come into it, with more downtime and more disruption.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Strachan can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Aberdeenshire.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
