Your questions answered
Is New Lanark off your patch?
Not at all. New Lanark is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Braidfute Retail Park, near New Lanark, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in New Lanark and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Braidfute Retail Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
Filling against broken edges doesn’t last. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing first and set out how that affects the job.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
About our floor joint sealing in New Lanark
It isn’t only heavy industry. Retail units, showrooms and trade counters have slab joints crossed by trolleys, footfall and cleaning machines, and an open, grimy joint line looks poor as well as catching wheels. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. The enquiries we see most involve cracked and crumbling joint fill and drivers complaining about joints on a route, across loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors. For commercial sealant work in New Lanark, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like New Lanark 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
Ask drivers not to drag forks or pallets along the floor. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it if it keeps happening.
Every day an open joint stays full of grit, the edges take more punishment. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in New Lanark
New Lanark 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.
Schools such as Lanark Grammar School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook. Retail parks like Braidfute Retail Park (0.7 miles north-east of New Lanark) have long runs of car park and yard joints taking daily traffic.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in New Lanark
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Filler that has parted from one face
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Loading bay joints breaking down
Large sites such as Lockhart Hospital (0.9 miles north-east of New Lanark) have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in New Lanark can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, 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 New Lanark. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Each area is assessed for joint width, arris damage and the wheels that cross it.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
