About our floor joint sealing in Newbattle
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant, area by area where it needs to be. If you have sealant pulled out along a truck route and filler that has parted from one face, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Newbattle is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller Scottish places like Newbattle, slabs needing attention are often in agricultural buildings, workshops, schools and hotels. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Questions about Newbattle
Will you take on work at estates like Hardengreen Business Park, close to Newbattle?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newbattle, Hardengreen Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Midlothian Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joint edges that have already broken away, which need repairing before filling (we’ll tell you if so)
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Level or flatness problems across the floor
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Floors, slabs and movement joints in Newbattle
Newbattle has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Floors, loading bays and yards on sites like these are where floor and movement joints work hardest. Being in the east of Scotland, Newbattle gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
Sites like Midlothian Community Hospital (0.5 miles west of Newbattle) carry ambulances, deliveries and visitors’ cars over their road and deck joints. Parks like Hardengreen Business Park, less than half a mile north-west of Newbattle, combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. Another example is Hardengreen Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Newbattle, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flexible floor sealants
Where joints move more, a flexible polyurethane floor sealant is often used. They don’t hold the arrises up as firmly as a semi-rigid fill, so they suit lighter traffic or movement joints.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They allow only small movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Why act early in Newbattle
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Newbattle before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
