About our floor joint sealing in Dewartown
Concrete floors in warehouses and factories are cut into bays with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement, so the arrises are supported and grit stays out. The enquiries we see most involve brittle joint filler breaking up and open saw cuts full of debris, across construction joints, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dewartown is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dewartown, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Midlothian. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

How the job changes by surface
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up normally puts that right, and we will explain it when we quote.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
We plan column and wall joints around racking and fixed plant so nothing has to move unexpectedly.

Joints that move: notes for Dewartown
Dewartown is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage. The 3 miles around Dewartown take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
For a school such as Newbattle Community High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays. Sites like Midlothian Community Hospital, 3.8 miles to the west of Dewartown, carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Office parks like McSence Business Park (to the west of Dewartown) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Keep photos of joints that look like they’re failing
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting and keep photos so changes are easy to compare.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints are where dirt collects where scrubber-driers can’t get it out. Where the floor is on show or needs to be kept clean, that is a problem. Flush, filled joints leave nothing for cleaners to dig out. Around smaller places like Dewartown, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
