Floor & skirting joints in Balornock, Glasgow
Floor joints in Balornock need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Balornock
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Balornock.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Joints and finishes in Balornock homes
Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Colston Wellpark Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Bishopbriggs station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Balornock, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
