Common questions in Clachan Shannda
Is Clachan Shannda within the area you cover?
Yes. Clachan Shannda is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Clachan Shannda?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Clachan Shannda
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We are often asked to deal with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Clachan Shannda depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Joints and finishes in Clachan Shannda homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar 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.
Whether the job is in Clachan Shannda itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
