Why it’s worth doing now in Cummertrees
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Floor joint sealing in Cummertrees, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We are often asked to deal with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Cummertrees
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For buildings such as Cummertrees Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Cummertrees need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Joints and finishes in Cummertrees homes
Across Dumfries and Galloway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Annan station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

FAQs for Cummertrees

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Cummertrees?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
