How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

About our floor joint sealing in Boghead
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and tiled floors with no room to move.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Boghead and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Boghead, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Boghead need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Floor joint sealing around Boghead
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across South Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lesmahagow High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Common problems we fix in Boghead
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Around Boghead, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Boghead questions
Do you cover smaller places like Boghead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Boghead?
All our work, in Boghead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
