Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Baberton
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

New homes and floors in Baberton
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Wester Hailes station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Wester Hailes Baptist Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
