Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Bonnybank, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Bonnybank
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Around smaller Scottish places like Bonnybank, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Floor joint sealing around Bonnybank
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Fife 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkland High School and Community College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Arnot Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Common problems we fix in Bonnybank
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Cameron Bridge station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
