New homes and floors in Cradlehall
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Culloden Academy are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Cradlehall
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

What sealant do you use?

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Why act early in Cradlehall
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
