Floor Joint Sealing across South Lanarkshire

Floor joint sealing across South Lanarkshire: what to expect

Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and the area is left clean.

  1. First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
  2. We remove what’s in the joint now.
  3. The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
  4. We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
  5. The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Where we work in South Lanarkshire

From East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang to its smaller places, South Lanarkshire has new developments as well as older homes. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and South Lanarkshire is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.

East Kilbride: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Duncanrig Secondary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near East Kilbride station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Leave it or put it right?

Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor.

What your quote should include

  • How long to leave it before use
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not

What affects the quote in South Lanarkshire

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What we’re called out for in South Lanarkshire

Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.

People normally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Tiled floors with no room to move
  • Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
  • Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
  • Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors

When it isn’t the sealant

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Leaks from a failed tanking system
  • Tiles that have lifted or broken
  • Large cracks that need a surveyor

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

South Lanarkshire: your questions answered

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

What should I tell you?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.

Why has a gap opened under my skirting?

Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?

For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.

Do you seal warehouse floor joints?

Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
