Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Upper Dallachy
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Upper Dallachy. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Upper Dallachy is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Autumn is a sensible time to seal them.
A healthcare site such as Seafield Hospital, 3.5 miles to the east of Upper Dallachy, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. In and around Upper Dallachy, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.

Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Dallachy
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels by saw-cut joints and construction joints, and each joint line is a weak edge that wheels run over all day. Our job is to put the right filler or sealant into them for the loads and the movement they see, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. Site teams most often ask us about joint edges breaking up under truck wheels and saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit, across saw-cut induced joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and joints along racking aisles. Most enquiries from Upper Dallachy 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.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Upper Dallachy, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Upper Dallachy as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Upper Dallachy: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Seafield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Upper Dallachy off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What information helps you price floor joint sealing?
Send details through our quote form or by email, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote with the product and phasing set out.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Most of the joints in a warehouse floor are saw cuts. Each one is cleaned out and filled to the specified depth with a flush finish.
Loading bays and dock areas
Loading bays combine the heaviest turning loads with wet tyres and cold air from open doors. These are often the first joints on site to break down, so they are often the place to start.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Upper Dallachy, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
- Worn screed or surface finishes
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Upper Dallachy. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
