Lunanhead: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Whitehills Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Restenneth Business Park, near Lunanhead?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lunanhead, Restenneth Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, just the area being treated is coned off. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Do you work in Lunanhead?
Yes. Lunanhead is in our area. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
A filler needs sound edges to grip. If the arrises have spalled, we’ll say they need repair before filling and set out how that affects the job.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Lunanhead
Open joints take a beating from forklift and pallet-truck wheels. Every pass chips at the bare concrete edge until a crisp saw cut becomes a wide, broken groove. A properly filled joint carries the wheel over and protects both arrises, which is kinder to trucks, loads and operators. Site teams most often ask us about a rough ride across broken joints and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, across saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lunanhead tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Lunanhead 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What happens if it’s left?
Duct tape or a general builders’ sealant can seem to buy some time. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. For buildings near Lunanhead, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Lunanhead: the local picture
Less than 3 miles from Lunanhead there are at least three named estates and business parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic. Lunanhead is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
At a retail site such as Forfar Retail Park (1.7 miles south-west of Lunanhead), trolleys, cages and cars run over floor and slab joints all day. In a school such as Forfar Academy, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. On a site such as Restenneth Business Park, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Lunanhead, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
Lunanhead is about 1 mile north-east of Forfar, in Angus. We send applicators to Lunanhead for floor joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 65 places in Angus, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Dundee have their own page, roughly 14 miles from Lunanhead.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lunanhead is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos 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.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.

Advice
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Broken concrete either side of the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Forklift and pallet-truck routes
- Retail and showroom floors
- Joints along racking aisles
- Loading bays
- Saw-cut induced joints
- Construction joints
Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.
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.
Quoting for work in Lunanhead
To price the job, we consider:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
