- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dowanhill
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Dowanhill, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Dowanhill and across Glasgow.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Dowanhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Glasgow, 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.
For landlords with property near Hyndland station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Notre Dame High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
