Floor joint sealing near Walls
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Allow for topping up joints as a new slab settles
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Stop forks and pallets being dragged across joints
If a joint we filled starts to break up within 12 months, tell us and we will arrange a look. Beyond that, an inspection once or twice a year catches failing joints early.
Grit in an open joint does damage every time a wheel crosses it. Getting it filled stops the damage before it becomes a repair.
About our floor joint sealing in Walls
Across Walls 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 photographs and a floor plan are enough for a quick quote and a visit can be arranged where that is easier. We work on saw-cut induced joints, joints along racking aisles and loading bays, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit and grimy joint lines spoiling a showroom floor. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Walls first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Walls, the joints we are asked about sit in workshops, farm sheds, schools and halls. Slabs and yards take vehicles, rain and frost.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Jobs near Walls are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- We extract the dust and prime the faces if the product needs it.
- The joint is filled to its specified depth and trimmed level.
- We hand each phase back when it can take traffic.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. A product chosen for the traffic and movement does the job once. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Walls before they leak.
Pricing floor joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Walls
Is Walls inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Walls. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Does the sea air around Walls change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you phase floor joint work around operations?
We phase it. We work aisle by aisle or zone by zone so the rest of the floor stays in use around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Walls
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Walls
Walls is within about 1 mile of the coast. Open joints in coastal car parks and yards let in salt-laden water as well as grit, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. Island jobs, Walls among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Send joint sizes and details of the traffic so the right materials come on the crossing.
In and around Walls, the right filler or sealant for each joint depends on the traffic and the movement it takes. A joint near Walls that has lost its sealant lets in water and grit, and the edges suffer next.
Walls is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Walls is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands.
We cover the ZE2 postcode districts. We cover commercial and managed buildings on New Road, Vagaland and Pier Road and the roads nearby. Just outside Walls, we also work in Easter Skeld (5 miles south-east), Sandness (6 miles north-west), Melby (6 miles north-west), Aith (8 miles north-east) and Kalliness (9 miles east). Bigger towns within reach include Lerwick (15 miles east), Sound (15 miles south-east), Scalloway (12 miles south-east) and Brae (14 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What the job involves on each surface
Saw-cut induced joints
Open saw cuts collect grit and break at the arris. Filled in good time, they stay narrow and neat.
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Isolation joints separate the slab from walls, columns and plinths so it can move independently. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
