- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.

Floor joint sealing around Black Crofts
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Letting a property close to Connel Ferry station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Ardchattan Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
