About our floor joint sealing in Crossford
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Crossford, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?

Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Joints and finishes in Crossford homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Crossford Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
