Floor joint sealing in Lochans, done properly
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. If you are dealing with unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Lochans, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Lochans: dry faces and the right temperature are essential, so dates have some give. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Structural cracking in the slab
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our process
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lochans is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- 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.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send your site hours and access windows

Questions we’re asked in Lochans
Does your area include sites such as Castle Kennedy Industrial Estate, near Lochans?
Yes. Our area takes in Lochans and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Castle Kennedy Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Lochans too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lochans are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is normally dealt with by topping up.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
Typically only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do we get a quote for floor joints?
A rough joint length, a few photographs and a site plan are normally enough for a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Joints that move: notes for Lochans
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Lochans. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The west of Scotland, where Lochans is, gets more rain than the east. Open joints in external slabs take a lot of water. External sealing is booked for dry spells, with some give in the dates.
For an occupier at a site such as Castle Kennedy Industrial Estate (1.7 miles north of Lochans), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear. Hospitals like Galloway Community Hospital (2.1 miles north of Lochans) have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

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.
Flexible floor sealants
Polyurethane sealants suit floor joints with larger movement. They give less edge support than semi-rigid fillers so they are used where movement matters more than wheel load.
