About our floor joint sealing in Newcraighall
A working floor can rarely be closed for days on end, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. Most enquiries involve grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, on construction joints, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Newcraighall? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In Scottish cities, where newer extensions meet older stone buildings, movement joints take the difference. Those joints need a sealant with the right movement capability, sized to the gap.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

FAQs: Newcraighall
Can being near the sea in Newcraighall affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Newhailes Industrial Estate, near Newcraighall, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Newcraighall and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Newhailes Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Newcraighall in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Newcraighall.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
The wait is set by the product’s cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking between a day and a number of days, set by the joint lengths, the edge condition and the phasing you need. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- We point out joints whose edges need repairing first.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Floor joint sealing in Newcraighall: the local picture
Newcraighall is within about 1 mile of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, so it pays to keep them sealed. Newcraighall has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
Campuses like Queen Margaret University, 0.6 miles south-east of Newcraighall, mix old and new buildings, with movement joints wherever they meet. For an estate such as Shawfair Park Hospital, 1.8 miles south of Newcraighall, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Newcraighall is about 1 mile west of Musselburgh, in Edinburgh. Commercial clients in Newcraighall can call on us for floor joints. 174 places across Edinburgh fall within our area, including Newcraighall.
If you need floor joint sealing in EH21, EH15 and EH22, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on Benhar Road, Glennie Road and Denholm Road or close by, send details and we’ll quote for floor joints. If your building is just outside Newcraighall, we cover Shawfair (1 mile south), Eastfield (1 mile north), Joppa (1 mile north), Old Craighall (1 mile south-east) and Musselburgh (1 mile east).

Around Newcraighall
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Portobello Library and Abercorn Park. Newcraighall has its own railway station: Newcraighall station. Nearby you will also find Craigmillar Castle (2.1 miles west) and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (2 miles south-west). The countryside around Newcraighall includes Duddingston Loch and Whinny Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
While the arrises are intact, filling a joint is straightforward. Left until they break, it needs an edge repair before any filling can start which means more downtime in that zone. In Newcraighall, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Constructionline member
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Newcraighall
An ageing filler or sealant can go brittle and split, particularly where cleaning machines and traffic work it daily. Once it has gone hard or come loose, it protects nothing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Open saw cuts full of debris
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
Warehouse floors on estates like Newhailes Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Newcraighall, carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Newcraighall can form part of a wider programme.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
