DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our floor joint sealing in Alexandria
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Alexandria
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across West Dunbartonshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Vale of Leven Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Alexandria station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alexandria
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Around Alexandria, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Alexandria need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
