Common questions from Newtown St Boswells clients
Is Newtown St Boswells off your patch?
No. Places such as Newtown St Boswells are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Borders General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What guarantee do you give on joint filling?
Every job has our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled, so a semi-rigid filler can part from one face. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Floor joint sealing in Newtown St Boswells
Most industrial slabs are divided into panels with saw cuts and day joints, and every one of those joints is an exposed edge under hard wheels. We fill or seal them with a product matched to the traffic and the movement so the edges are held up and debris can’t pack in. If you have loading bay joints breaking down and sealant pulled out along a truck route, we can help, on saw-cut induced joints, retail and showroom floors and joints along racking aisles alike. Most enquiries from Newtown St Boswells start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Weather windows decide external joint work around a place like Newtown St Boswells: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Flexible floor sealants
A flexible sealant suits perimeter and movement joints away from the heaviest traffic. Backing rod limits how deep the bead goes and keeps it off the joint bottom.
Loading bays and dock areas
Bays can be treated one or two at a time so goods in and out carry on. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What we are called out for in Newtown St Boswells
A soft, flexible sealant on a forklift route can’t hold the arrises up, so the concrete still breaks beside it. The opposite mistake happens as well: a rigid fill in a joint that is still opening cracks or debonds.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
On a site such as Tweed Horizons Business Centre, 0.8 miles east of Newtown St Boswells, the movement joints are in car park slabs, paving and building elevations.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- 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.
