What we’re called out for in Cornton
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Schools such as Wallace High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Cornton
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
For a place like Cornton, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Outdoor work around Cornton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.

Floor joint sealing around Cornton
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Stirling, 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.
Rented homes near Stirling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
