How we handle floor joint sealing in Burravoe
Floor joint sealing for us covers warehouse aisles, loading bays, production halls, retail floors and showroom slabs. Each job is priced from the metres of joint, their condition and the access windows we get and the figure is fixed before work begins. If you are dealing with joint fill separating from the concrete and failing joints at loading bays and dock doors, we can put it right, on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and loading bays alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Burravoe is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Burravoe, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Work we carry out in the Shetland Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Burravoe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Burravoe counts as a coastal location. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. For an island location such as Burravoe, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Joint widths, lengths and the traffic over them help us bring the right fillers and sealants.
Around Burravoe, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.

FAQs: Burravoe
Does the sea air around Burravoe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Burravoe inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Burravoe included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Will we need to close the floor?
Normally only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic and the next zone follows.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Forklift routes generally call for a semi-rigid filler that holds the arrises, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Why is there a gap next to the joint filler?
On newer slabs, the concrete keeps shrinking after the joints are filled and a stiff filler can separate down one side. A top-up normally puts it right.
When can forklifts run over new joint filler?
Each product has its own cure time, and cold floors slow it down. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Structural cracking in the slab
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Burravoe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A floor survey records every joint, its edges and what crosses it.
- You receive a fixed quote showing products and phasing.
- Each joint is cut or routed back to clean, sound concrete.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common problems we fix in Burravoe
Left open, joints fill with grit, wrap and wood fragments. Packed debris acts like a wedge every time a wheel crosses, speeding up the damage.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Drivers complaining about joints on a route
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
Around Burravoe, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we will tell you if the edges need repairing first.

Cost factors for floor joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
