Joints that move: notes for Voe
Voe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The east of Scotland, where Voe is, gets less rain than the west. Cold winters and gritting are hard on any yard or deck joint left open. Sealing them before winter limits the damage.
Around Voe, open joints collect water and debris, and the arrises are the next to go; we’ll tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Voe is in the Shetland Islands. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Voe use us for work on floor joints, as part of our coverage of the Shetland Islands. Voe is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands on our list for floor joints.
Business premises anywhere in ZE2 are within our area for floor joints. Among the streets we cover are Norderhoull, Isles Road and Mulla, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. If your building is just outside Voe, we cover Brae (4 miles north-west), Dury (4 miles south-east), Vidlin (4 miles east), Scatsta (5 miles north) and Sullom (6 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Lerwick (15 miles south), Sound (15 miles south) and Scalloway (15 miles south). 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.

About our floor joint sealing in Voe
It isn’t only heavy industry. Shops, showrooms and trade counters have joints that take trolleys, foot traffic and scrubber-driers, where a gappy, dirty joint looks untidy and snags castors. A flush, well-finished joint tidies the whole floor. If you have joint fill separating from the concrete and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Voe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Voe, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Photos, approximate widths and what uses the floor help us bring the right materials.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Voe with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Each area is handed back when ready for traffic.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we will need

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Uneven floors that need grinding or levelling
- Spalled arrises, which need an edge repair first
- Damaged or worn floor coatings and screeds
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we are called out for in Voe
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Look out for the following:
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Joint edges breaking up under truck wheels
- Old filler gone hard, cracked or loose
In and around Voe, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Flexible floor sealants
Flexible floor sealants come in several colours so ask if the colour matters.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Where racking or plant sits near column joints, access is agreed before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for a site-wide shutdown often means the joints keep getting worse. Zone by zone, the worst aisles can be dealt with now while the rest of the floor carries on. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Voe. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
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.

Questions about Voe
Does the sea air around Voe change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Voe inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Voe. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
What do you need from us to quote?
A rough joint length, a few photos and a site plan let us give a quick quote. For larger floors, a site visit is often best so call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to set one up.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
