For managing agents and facilities managers

Floor joint sealing in Mid Yell
For sites in Mid Yell and across the Shetland Islands, the process is short: 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. Most enquiries involve brittle joint filler breaking up and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, on loading bays, forklift and pallet-truck routes and retail and showroom floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mid Yell first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For outside joints near Mid Yell, the Scottish weather sets the timetable: sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within its range. Inside slabs aren’t affected and can be scheduled around the occupier.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Construction joints
Day joints vary, with or without armoured edges. We’ll tell you if the edges or any armouring look like they need attention before filling.
Forklift and pallet-truck routes
Open route joints are hard on equipment and drivers. Filling them gives a smoother run and saves the edges.
Where floor joints take the most wear near Mid Yell
With the shore within about 1 mile, Mid Yell counts as a coastal location. Near the sea, external slabs, ramps and decks see salt air and driven rain as well as their usual loads, so a failed joint lets more in and the edges break up sooner. Being in the east of Scotland, Mid Yell 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.
For floors and slabs around Mid Yell, the product is chosen for the traffic and the movement at each joint.
Mid Yell is in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
What we are called out for in Mid Yell
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. If the faces aren’t taken back to clean concrete first, the new material simply lifts out.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Failing joints at loading bays and dock doors
- Chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- A gap opening alongside old joint filler
For a school such as Mid Yell Junior High School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Questions we’re asked in Mid Yell
Can you take on a job in Mid Yell, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Mid Yell included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Our building in Mid Yell is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Why has the filler pulled away from one side?
Young concrete carries on shrinking for a long time and a stiff filler can separate down one side. It is usually dealt with by topping up.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What happens if the joint edges are damaged?
We check the edges as part of the survey. Damaged edges are flagged up front, so nothing is filled that won’t hold.
Will we need to close the floor?
Typically only the zone we are working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
What happens if it’s left?
Holding off until the whole floor can close can take a long time. Phased in zones, the busiest routes can be treated first and the remainder follows on a plan that suits you. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Mid Yell before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a day for one loading bay to several days for a large floor, split into phases. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Mid Yell is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We agree the traffic routes and phasing with your site team.
- Any joints with broken edges are flagged before work starts.
- We clear each run back to clean concrete.
- We fill the joints with the agreed product, finished level.
- You get a time for each zone to reopen.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
