- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds

Floor joint sealing in Edgehead, done properly
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. Most enquiries involve joint fill separating from the concrete and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes. For commercial sealant work in Edgehead, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Edgehead, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photographs, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

How the job changes 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
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. These are often the first joints on site to break down, so they are often the place to start.
When to call us in Edgehead
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Flexible sealant torn out by wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
Parks like McSence Business Park (to the west of Edgehead) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move.

Floor joint sealing in Edgehead: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Edgehead gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and winter road salt still work into open joints in car parks and yards. Sealing them before winter limits the damage. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Edgehead. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest.
Across sites such as Mayfield Industrial Estate, 2 miles west of Edgehead, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working. Sites like Midlothian Community Hospital (to the west of Edgehead) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints.

Advice
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as McSence Business Park, near Edgehead?
Yes. We cover Edgehead and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as McSence Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Edgehead off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Edgehead
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
