How we handle floor joint sealing in Ullapool
Sometimes the concrete either side of a joint has already spalled. Filling against a crumbled arris won’t hold for long, so if the edges need repair before any filling, we will say so and leave that decision with you. Most enquiries involve broken arrises where pallet trucks cross and brittle joint filler breaking up, across joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and construction joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Ullapool it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Ullapool is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.

Common questions from Ullapool clients
Is a smaller place like Ullapool outside your area?
Not at all. Ullapool is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Ullapool affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Phasing is planned around your delivery schedule.
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. We’ll tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product

What else we do in Ullapool
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ullapool. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Loading bays
- Retail and showroom floors
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Ullapool
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ullapool. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Ullapool is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Open joints in car parks and yards let in more water than in drier areas. Outside joints are sealed in dry spells, so dates have some give.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Morefield Industrial Estate (0.6 miles north of Ullapool): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For a school such as Ullapool School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. On industrial estates such as Mill Street Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north-east of Ullapool), saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic.
