About our floor joint sealing in College of Roseisle
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in College of Roseisle as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in College of Roseisle
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What floor joint sealing looks like in College of Roseisle
Across Moray, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around College of Roseisle, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

What we are called out for in College of Roseisle
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Whether the job is in College of Roseisle itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
