About our floor joint sealing in Allandale
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a place like Allandale is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Around Allandale, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Do I need to be at home?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Common problems we fix in Allandale
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Managing a site like Abronhill High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Allandale
Across Falkirk, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Cumbernauld station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Haggs Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
