Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Commercial sealant contractors in Exnaboe, done properly
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. We work on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Exnaboe from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
If you look after more than one building near Exnaboe, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
In smaller Scottish places like Exnaboe, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Work we carry out in the Shetland Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)

What happens if it’s left?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement. Around smaller places like Exnaboe, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Commercial sealant contractors in Exnaboe: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Exnaboe. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Work on Exnaboe has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
For premises around Exnaboe where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote. A lasting commercial joint around Exnaboe begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Exnaboe is about 19 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE3, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, Exnaboe among them.
If you need commercial sealant contractors in ZE3, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We also cover Toab (1 mile west), Hestingott (1 mile west), Scatness (1 mile south), Boddam (2 miles north) and South Scousburgh (3 miles north). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Exnaboe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Questions about Exnaboe
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Exnaboe?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Can you take on a job in Exnaboe, on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Exnaboe. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
How the job changes by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
