About our floor joint sealing in Dalmarnock
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Dalmarnock, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Dalmarnock, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards

Floor joint sealing in Dalmarnock: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Glasgow, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Dalmarnock station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as John Bosco Secondary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What else we do in Dalmarnock
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Dalmarnock can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
If you manage several properties in or around Dalmarnock, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
