Traffic, movement and joints around Gott
Gott is within about 1 mile of the coast. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. Gott is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and de-icing salt still find their way into open external joints. Resealing before the cold months helps protect the edges.
For an estate such as Montfield Hospital, 3.7 miles south-east of Gott, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time. For an occupier at a site such as Black Hill Industrial Estate (2.4 miles south-east of Gott), the joints at loading doors and dock levellers normally see the hardest wear.
Gott is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Gott can call on us for floor joints. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Gott among them.
Commercial sites across ZE2 are covered for floor joints. Streets here include Stura, Gorsten and Gaet-a-Gott. Just outside Gott, we also work in Veensgarth (1 mile south-west), Gremista (3 miles south-east), Heogan (3 miles south-east), Lerwick (4 miles south-east) and Kalliness (4 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Scalloway (4 miles south-west), Brae (15 miles north) and Sandwick (13 miles south). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead.
Around Gott
Other landmarks nearby include Montfield Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Tingwall Agricultural Museum (1.3 miles south-west). Open spaces near Gott include Setter Hill and Strand Loch.
Floor joint sealing in Gott
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and saw-cut induced joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are dock area joints that have failed first and sealant pulled out along a truck route. For commercial sealant work in Gott, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Gott, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Work we carry out in the Shetland Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and protects the floor.
Saw-cut induced joints
A sawn joint left open soon packs with debris and chips at the edges. Filling them early keeps them tidy and protects the edges.
Common problems we fix in Gott
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Filler that has parted from one face
At places like Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate (2.5 miles south-east of Gott), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gott
Some runs only need partial renewal or topping up. If old material is sound on one face and only a fine gap has opened, it may not all have to come out and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gott before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Gott: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Montfield Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Black Hill Industrial Estate, close to Gott?
Yes. Our area takes in Gott and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Black Hill Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you fill joints where the arrises have spalled?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we’ll tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Gott with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First, the zones and order of work are agreed with you.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- Failed material and debris are removed and the joint cleaned.
- The chosen filler or sealant goes in flush with the slab.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
