What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
About our floor joint sealing in Baliscate
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We’re often asked to deal with floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
For a place like Baliscate, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we are called out for in Baliscate
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Schools such as Tobermory High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Baliscate
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Baliscate need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Baliscate
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Baliscate, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
