Floor joint sealing in Easthouses, done properly
For sites in Easthouses and across Midlothian, the process is short: you send details, we send a fixed quote, the joints are done and the 12-month guarantee follows. Approximate joint lengths, a few photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you’re dealing with brittle joint filler breaking up and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Easthouses, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Easthouses is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Floor joint sealing in Easthouses: the local picture
Easthouses is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage. Easthouses has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
A healthcare site such as Midlothian Community Hospital (to the west of Easthouses) depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day. For buildings at a park such as McSence Business Park, which lies south-east of Easthouses, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
Easthouses is about 1 mile south-east of Dalkeith, in Midlothian. We cover commercial sites throughout Easthouses, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 34 places in Midlothian, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page (8 miles or so).

Landmarks near Easthouses

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Tell us about strong cleaning chemicals before we quote
Walk the main truck routes every few months and look along the joint lines. Look for separation down one side, new chips in the arris and debris gathering, and photograph anything that changes.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. We can quote a programme that starts with the busiest areas so nothing is left to fail.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Easthouses. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Request a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Advice
When to call us in Easthouses
A slab keeps shrinking for a long time after it is cast, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. As the panels contract, the joints widen, and a filler placed early can part company with one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Broken arrises where pallet trucks cross
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
In a school such as Newbattle Community High School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak.

FAQs: Easthouses
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Midlothian Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Easthouses too far out for you?
Not at all. Easthouses is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Cure times vary with the product and the conditions. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
