Floor joint sealing in Exnaboe

Our CSCS-carded applicators follow your site induction and rules, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member holding public liability insurance. Finished floor joints in Exnaboe carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on joints along racking aisles, retail and showroom floors and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulled out along a truck route and trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints. For commercial sealant work in Exnaboe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Exnaboe, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Day joints on busy routes are prone to edge damage. Movement and traffic are both checked before we decide what goes in.
Loading bays and dock areas
Dock areas see tight turns, heavy loads and weather blowing in. These are often the first joints on site to break down so many programmes begin here.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Exnaboe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Exnaboe counts as a coastal location. 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. Being in the east of Scotland, Exnaboe gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
A joint near Exnaboe that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next. In and around Exnaboe, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Exnaboe is about 19 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Exnaboe can call on us for floor joints. Exnaboe is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands for floor joints.
Work on floor joints is covered throughout ZE3, whatever the building. Just outside Exnaboe, we also work in Toab (1 mile west), Hestingott (1 mile west), Scatness (1 mile south), Boddam (2 miles north) and South Scousburgh (3 miles north). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Exnaboe
Other landmarks nearby include Shetland Crofthouse Museum (1.6 miles north). The countryside around Exnaboe includes Loch of Huesbreck and Sumburgh Head RSPB reserve.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Make joint checks part of your floor inspections
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Record damaged joints with a photo and a location
Young concrete carries on shrinking, so some fillers part slightly from one face. That is common and is typically dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Filling it ends that cycle before it becomes a repair.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: 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.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Common questions from Exnaboe clients
Does the sea air around Exnaboe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Must our site in Exnaboe stop work while the joints are done?
Rarely. Work is phased around your operations. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long before trucks can use the joints?
Each product has its own cure time and cooler floors take longer. We plan the phasing so that waiting time fits your operation.
Do you work in Exnaboe?
Yes. Sites across Exnaboe are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Exnaboe can form part of a wider programme.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
