From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Strone are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.

Strone: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Cowal Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does the sea air around Strone change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail and showroom floors
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Closed-cell backing rod goes in first, keeping the bead shallow and gripping only the two faces.

What else we do in Strone
Joints that move: notes for Strone
Strone sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Strone is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them.
For an estate such as Cowal Community Hospital, which lies south-west of Strone, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Strone is about 6 miles north-west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Strone sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 124 places across Argyll and Bute fall within our area, including Strone. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Strone
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
Schools such as Dunoon Grammar School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Why act early in Strone
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, adding costs nobody plans for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strone before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Steel tines will mark a good joint over time.
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.
