Floor joint sealing in Tarbert
For sites in Tarbert and across Na h-Eileanan Siar, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulled out along a truck route and a rough ride across broken joints, on construction joints, joints along racking aisles and forklift and pallet-truck routes. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tarbert? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Tarbert, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Where floor joints take the most wear near Tarbert
Tarbert is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Island jobs, Tarbert among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Send joint sizes and details of the traffic so the right materials come on the crossing.
A joint near Tarbert that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first. In and around Tarbert, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Questions we’re asked in Tarbert
Do you work on the island where Tarbert is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Tarbert included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do we have to stop operations in Tarbert while the joints are sealed?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front so the filling isn’t wasted.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or more, depending on the metres of joint and how many zones the floor is split into. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. Phasing is planned with that in mind.
Is the floor joint work guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tarbert
Painting or coating straight over joints rarely lasts. Joints need their own treatment before or alongside any coating work. Around smaller places like Tarbert, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. It is a known trait of new floors and a later top-up deals with it in most cases.
Joint damage starts slowly and then speeds up. Once the first piece is out, wheels drop further and hit harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
