How we handle floor joint sealing in Strathy
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. The enquiries we see most involve joint fill separating from the concrete and broken arrises where pallet trucks cross, across construction joints, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes.

Joints that move: notes for Strathy
Strathy is within about 1 mile of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The west of Scotland, where Strathy is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
Around Strathy, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
A broken joint on a main route is crossed by every truck on that route. Sorting it early looks after your equipment as well as the slab.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling

Strathy: questions and answers
Will our site in Strathy have to close for joint sealing?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
Does the sea air around Strathy change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will we need to close the floor?
Typically only the zone we’re working in has to close. Traffic returns to each zone once it has cured and the next zone follows.
Quoting for work in Strathy
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
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.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
What we are called out for in Strathy
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
Once a joint near Strathy opens up, grit and water get in and the edges start to break; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
