What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Floor joint sealing in Devonburn
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Devonburn. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Floor joint sealing in Devonburn: local notes
Across South Lanarkshire, 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a building such as Lesmahagow High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Lanark station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Devonburn, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Devonburn?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lesmahagow Old Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
