Questions about Cunningsburgh
Will you travel to Cunningsburgh on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Cunningsburgh included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Does a site in Cunningsburgh have to shut while its joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. We agree the sequence and timings with you before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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.
Is it normal for joint filler to separate?
It can be shrinkage, contamination on the joint faces or a product unsuited to the movement. We look at which it is before recommending anything.
Floor joint sealing in Cunningsburgh, done properly
For sites in Cunningsburgh and across the Shetland Islands, the process is short: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A rough length of joint, photographs of the worst areas and a site plan let us give a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. If you have soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints and joint edges breaking up under truck wheels, we can put it right, on joints along racking aisles, construction joints and retail and showroom floors alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Cunningsburgh it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For outside joints near Cunningsburgh, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: dry faces and the right temperature are essential. Internal floors can be done whenever suits the site.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Respect the cure time before traffic returns
- Clear packed debris from open joints regularly
- Remind operators to lift rather than drag
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 we choose something that tolerates them.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
- Slab panels that rock or move under load
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Saw-cut induced joints

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Cunningsburgh
Cunningsburgh sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal yards and decks give their joints salt and wet weather to deal with, not just wheels, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Cunningsburgh is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Freezing weather and salt still attack open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
Around Cunningsburgh, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go. Around Cunningsburgh, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
