Warehouse floors and decks around Lochee
Lochee is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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. Being in the east of Scotland, Lochee gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
On industrial estates such as Ardyle Industrial Estate, less than half a mile west of Lochee, saw-cut floor joints, loading bay slabs and yard joints take the heaviest traffic. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Dunsinane Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north of Lochee): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. Large sites such as Royal Victoria Hospital (to the south of Lochee) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.
Lochee is about 1 mile west of Dundee, in Dundee. Commercial clients in Lochee can call on us for floor joints, as part of our coverage of Dundee. Lochee is one of 28 places we cover in Dundee for floor joints.

About our floor joint sealing in Lochee
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A neat, flush fill makes the floor easier to clean and look after. We work on retail and showroom floors, saw-cut induced joints and joints along racking aisles, and what we are called in for most is flexible sealant torn out by wheels and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lochee first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Scotland’s cities have multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, university and hospital estates, all with movement joints in decks, floors and walls. Failed joints let water in, and repeated frost then works on the edges.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Lochee change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does your area include sites such as Ardyle Industrial Estate, near Lochee?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lochee, Ardyle Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
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’ll plan around them.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Cure times vary with the product and how cold the slab is. You’ll get a reopening time for each area when we agree the phasing.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Worn screed or surface finishes
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
A floor coating laid over open joints soon cracks along the joint lines. The joints have to be filled or sealed as joints before or alongside any coating work. Getting access arranged for a building in Lochee takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: 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. City jobs in Lochee usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Quotes
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Once cured, the joints get cleaned along with the slab. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. Once they have broken away, edge repair comes first and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
How the job changes by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
Retail and showroom floors
In retail, joints take trolleys, castors and cleaning machines rather than forklifts. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the finish matters as much as the performance.
