Floor joint sealing in Wick
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so the work is split into zones and treated one area at a time. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you have flexible sealant torn out by wheels and joint fill separating from the concrete, we can help, on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Wick is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Wick, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Wick: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Caithness General Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Our building in Wick is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are typically enough for a quick quote. We can visit where that helps, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It covers our workmanship, not later slab movement or damage from impacts.
Does the weather affect the 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Floor joint sealing in Wick: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Wick. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. The 3 miles around Wick take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Across sites such as Lochshell Business Park, 1.3 miles to the north-west of Wick, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Places like Wick Retail Park, 0.7 miles south-west of Wick, put trolleys over floor joints inside and cars over slab joints outside. Sites like Caithness General Hospital, under half a mile to the west of Wick, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.
Wick is in Highland. Wick sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Wick is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for floor joints.
Anyone looking for floor joint sealing in KW1 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Market Street, Argyle Square and High Street are within our area. Access to Wick is via the A99 and A882 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Just outside Wick, we also work in Whiterow (1 mile south), Staxigoe (1 mile north-east), Ackergillshore (2 miles north), Haster (3 miles west) and Reiss (3 miles north-west). As one of the bigger centres in Highland, Wick has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings, and we cover them all. Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.
What’s near Wick
Around Wick, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Alexander Bain pub and Bignold Park. There’s a railway station in Wick itself: Wick station. Well-known places in the area include Wick Heritage Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Castle of Old Wick (1.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Loch Hempriggs.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. For work around Wick, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints

Surface by surface
Loading bays and dock areas
Joints at dock doors need a product that copes with the traffic and the conditions. Curing times also have to fit around deliveries.
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. The product is chosen for that traffic and the finish matters as much as the performance.
Commercial clients in Wick
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Loading bays
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Construction joints
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Saw-cut induced joints
Why act early in Wick
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads, and it typically ends up dragged across the floor. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. For buildings near Wick, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
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 and we will explain how it’s made up.
