About floor joint sealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.

New homes and floors across Na h-Eileanan Siar
In Na h-Eileanan Siar, floor joint sealing work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, in Stornoway, Tarbert and Plasterfield and well beyond. Every joint needs to allow for movement.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Along the coast in Na h-Eileanan Siar, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant normally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Stornoway: Whether the job is in Stornoway itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Stornoway, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- 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.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job

Common questions in Na h-Eileanan Siar
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
