Floor joint sealing for Hamister sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Walk the main routes and inspect joint lines on a regular cycle
- Put loading bays at the top of the list
On younger slabs, a fine line can open down one side of a filled joint as the concrete keeps shrinking. That is common and is normally dealt with by topping up once the slab has settled down in most cases.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder, so it pays to act at the first signs.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Hamister
Across Hamister and the rest of the Shetland Islands, it runs the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Approximate joint lengths, a few photos and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a site visit. If you are dealing with unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hamister tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller places such as Hamister, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Concrete slabs and yards there take vehicles and weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every joint needs stripping out completely. Where existing filler is well bonded and the gap beside it is small, a full strip-out isn’t always needed and the quote shows which approach suits each run. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Hamister. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hamister is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We walk the floor and mark up joint widths, edge damage and traffic routes.
- The treatment and the zones are set out in a fixed quote.
- Old fill and packed debris come out until both faces are sound.
- Dust is vacuumed out and primer applied where specified.
- Filler or sealant is placed to depth and finished flush.
- Zones reopen once cured and the work moves on.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Surface by surface
Retail and showroom floors
Retail joints see trolleys, footfall and scrubber-driers. We pick a filler or sealant to suit and the finish matters as much as the performance.
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.

Questions we are asked in Hamister
Must our site in Hamister stop work while the joints are done?
Typically not: we work in sections and hand each one back once it has cured. Tell us which hours and entrances we can use and we’ll plan from there.
Can you take on a job in Hamister, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Hamister included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you repair broken joint edges?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Where they have broken away, we will tell you before quoting the filling so the filling isn’t wasted.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
