Floor joint sealing in Boddam, done properly
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. The enquiries we see most involve trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, on retail and showroom floors, forklift and pallet-truck routes and construction joints. For commercial sealant work in Boddam, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Boddam is planned so the work is done in one trip where possible. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why it’s worth doing now in Boddam
Every jolt over a broken joint passes into the truck, the load and the driver. That means extra wear on wheels and a rougher ride for staff, which nobody budgets for. A filled joint takes most of that out. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Boddam before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Boddam is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- The quote fixes the price, names the filler or sealant and shows how the floor will be zoned.
- Old filler, debris and contamination are cut or routed out back to clean concrete.
- Dust is sucked out of the joint and a primer used if the product data sheet asks for one.
- Filler or sealant goes in to the right depth and is finished flush with the slab.
- The area is handed back once it has cured enough to take traffic.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Joints that move: notes for Boddam
Boddam lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. For an island location such as Boddam, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Approximate joint lengths and widths let us bring enough material first time.
A joint near Boddam that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first. For floors and slabs around Boddam, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Boddam is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Boddam can call on us for floor joints. Boddam is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands for floor joints.

Questions about Boddam
Do you work on the island where Boddam is?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Boddam. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Will our site in Boddam have to close for joint sealing?
In most cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we will plan from there.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
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.
What do you need from us to quote?
Use our quote form, or email photos and a plan, with the traffic on each area. We then send a fixed quote that shows the products and zones.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How the job changes by surface
Retail and showroom floors
We plan shop-floor work so trading can continue. Give us your opening pattern and access windows and the phasing follows.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
A semi-rigid fill can separate along one side while a slab is still shrinking. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we’ll explain it when we quote.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Start with the dock areas, where joints fail soonest
Normal floor cleaning is fine once the product has cured. If you use strong chemicals or hot-water washing, mention it when we quote so the product suits them.
Regular inspection catches failing fills before the edges go. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out so nothing is left to fail.
