Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Traffic, movement and joints around Newbigging
Newbigging sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so it pays to keep them sealed. Newbigging is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Sealing them in drier months limits winter damage.
For floors and slabs around Newbigging, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint. Hospitals like Ashludie Hospital, 1.9 miles south of Newbigging, have multi-storey or surface car parks whose joints carry vehicles round the clock.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Newbigging with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First comes a walk of the floor to record joint sizes, broken edges and traffic routes.
- 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 extracted from the joint and primer applied where the manufacturer specifies it.
- The chosen product is placed to its specified depth and trimmed level with the floor.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
We’ll give you a time before trucks can run over the new joints and it pays to stick to it. In a busy building, barriers keep early traffic away.
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.

What else we do in Newbigging
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Your questions answered
Is Newbigging off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is a hospital such as Ashludie Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
Edge condition is recorded when we look at the floor. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically 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.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
Separation typically comes from slab shrinkage, poor preparation or the wrong product. We diagnose the cause before suggesting a fix.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Cracks across panels caused by settlement or overload
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
