Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Sealant specialists in Lochee
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and what we’re called in for most is window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and expansion joints with the sealant torn out. Most enquiries from Lochee start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
If you look after more than one building near Lochee, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
Work we carry out in Dundee comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

What Lochee’s businesses ask us to seal
Lochee lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. 10 care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Lochee. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean.
For premises near Dundee station, which lies south-east of Lochee, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Sites a few miles apart, such as Ardyle Industrial Estate and Dunsinane Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Lochee is about 1 mile west of Dundee, in Dundee. We cover Lochee, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Lochee is one of 28 places in Dundee on our list for sealant joints.
Business premises anywhere in DD2 and DD3 are within our area. Streets here include Ancrum Road, High Street and St Ann Lane. You’ll find Lochee on or near the A923, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. If your building is just outside Lochee, we cover Dryburgh (1 mile north-west), Balgay (1 mile south-west), Logie (1 mile south), Charleston (1 mile west) and Ardler (1 mile north). A short drive away, we cover Broughty Ferry (6 miles east), Barnhill (6 miles east), Pitkerro (3 miles east), Whitfield (3 miles east), Douglas (4 miles east) and Craigiebank (3 miles east).

Lochee: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Lochee affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Must a hotel around Lochee close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Let us know what can’t close and we will work around it.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For premises in Lochee, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Related advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
What we’re called out for in Lochee
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. That usually means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, so width, depth and product are checked before we quote.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
For a hotel such as Shaftesbury Hotel, 1.2 miles to the south of Lochee, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
